I planted them so they can be seen easily from the house windows--in case bad weather prevented me from getting outside. Good planning there, I think! On the patio are containers of daffodils which we can see from the window at the back of the house.
When I have managed to brave the weather and walk around the garden I have spotted clumps of flowers down in the bottom border nestling under the trees.
Here you can see how wet the ground is.
These primroses have been flowering for weeks and weeks.
Down in the woodland border the hellebores are out. These have also been flowering for a few weeks now.
This one is a lovely colour. Its called 'Anna's Red'.
Most of the helebores hold their heads down so you can't see the front of them, but these are better.
I cut some to bring indoors and I could see their faces better then.

Oh this wet weather is so depressing and endless. I'm glad you too have some highlights to brighten the dreary days if only we could get outside to enjoy them more! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it won't be long before we can, Sarah
DeleteDaffodils are lovely. (So too is wet, as I walk my watering cans from thirsty to thirsty)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, Diana we seem to have different extremes of weather.
DeleteYou sound just like I feel...so tired of the rain and gloom. Misery loves company but looking at your lovely blooms has already cheered me up. I like the little bouquets in the cups.

Thank you Jeannie, I like to bring flowers into the house even if it is only a few tiny ones
DeleteWe have the same technique of growing spring flowers visible from house windows. You are certainly not alone for anchoring for some dry weather.
ReplyDeleteWe've had one or two dry days this week, hope you have too.
