My garden is full of blue flowers just now.
The bluebells were in the Cottage garden when we arrived, and flower faithfully every year.
The forget-me-nots came from my Mother’s Auckland garden, and are a lovely remembrance of her.
I planted the original grape hyacinths, and they have spread and spread.
The ipheions are a memento of Stephen’s years working at Yates in Penrose. They too have spread.
The blue polyanthus were new last year
When I picked a blue bunch for the dining table I couldn’t resist adding a few of the miniature daffodils I adore.
The fruit trees are starting to blossom. By next week our garden may be pink.
“The garden’s gone from white to blue
and soon there’ll be pink blossoms too.
Your garden is so pretty Ruth Its a real oasis on that busy street.

I love bluebells, remember as a child when my parents were driving through GOODWOOD. in Sussex, we always looked at the lovely bluebells out in the wild… carpets off them.. another wild flower we get in UK are the lovely primroses… but when I get to UK in a few weeks, it will be autumn, still a lovely time of the year in England then… will be in Sussex most of the time, apart when I am back around London, on old haunts.. who said Pubs!!!

Best wishes for a wonderful trip, Adele. I’ve been impressed with the wonderful window boxes outside the English pubs (and I’ve enjoyed the cider!)

🙂 That would be nice sometime. I was on a mission. My first trip to Sumner since before the September 2010 earthquake. Finally in the right frame of mind to do it.

The drive out there can be challenging, whatever your frame of mind.

What beautiful blues. Your grape hyacinths are a good size, much bigger than mine. You must be feeding them well.

I don’t feed them at all. Our garden is very sandy – they must like that.

Juliet, the daffodils are miniatures, so maybe the grape hyacinths aren’t much bigger than yours?
