This is my second Garden Bloggers Bloom Day - hosted by Carol at May Dreams Garden, do go and check out what is blooming around the world and on your doorstep.
I still have hellebore’s, daffs, and pulmonaria gently flourishing in the garden.
These have now been joined by camellia, wild primroses, vinca, and the blossom on the dark leaved prunus.
The buds of the magnolia are poised ….. waiting ….. promising …..
The main event this month is the unfurling of leaves. My Weeping willow is showing a haze of bright green at the bottom of the garden. So for me - promise of things to come is the word for this month.
And lest we forget … the weeds are also making a come back!

What a beautiful grouping of flowers. Your garden must be wonderful place to be right now. Thanks for joining in for Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day!
I really like your photo of the Hellebore past its peak. I never think to take photos of them then.
That camellia - so beautiful! Two years ago, in March, I drove down to Cornwall (to visit the Eden project) and I saw huge shrubs of flowering camellias. So adorable! I fell in love. And yesterday I bought my second camellia (I keep them in my wintr garden).

The Magnolia bud looks as if it will burst open very soon. I love the wild primroses and the camellia. Your Hellebore is such a gorgeous, deep colour.
I think I’d be happy to see a dandelion even - all this snow is getting tiring to look at. Of course, give me a few months, and I’ll be pulling them out and complaining.
Thanks for showing us your beautiful blooms. The wild primroses are one of our favorites. Hope they will be blooming for next months shots. Well done.

So lovely! We are just starting to see bare ground, but the air feels spring like.
Do you by chance have a mac? I like the way you frame your shots, and I know that iLife does it that way.
Thanks for the nice comment on my haiku post!

What a beautiful variety of plants to share. We are nowhere near having lovely Spring weather, yet. But it will come.
Thank you.
Dear Karen
Thank you so much for putting me on your ‘Favourites List’ on Blotanical.
However . . . and the ‘however’ may make you want to take me off again. If you do . . . be assured, I won’t be offended.
I have only just joined Blotanical - and I realise there is a custom that if someone adds a blog to their ‘Favourites’ list, they will reciprocate.
But I have decided that I will only be adding blogs to my list if I read them (and enjoy them!) over a period of time.
(The only blog I have in my ‘Favourites’ list so far is one I was already reading before I joined. Blotanical.)
And . . . as I don’t have a great deal of time for reading blogs (!) I am not expecting my list to be very long!
However, I don’t want you to miss out on ‘points’.
So - this is what I thought I would do - I will drop a short note in your ‘Plot’ five times over the next few days - just say ‘hello’ or something. That, I think, will give you ‘ten points’ - a sort of ‘Thank you’.
Sorry this is a bit laboured! I haven’t worked out how to explain this properly!
But, meanwhile, thank you so much for visiting my blog - and for your approval.
