Some little blossom on the Prunis Incisa Paean, this it's 1st year in my garden and I'm looking forward to seeing the whole bush in bloom.

This Hyacinth is one of a few that were retrieved from the compost bin a year or two ago. It's by the front door and the scent is lovely, I'm glad I saved it lovesmile

.

These little Viola have been keeping this pot of spring bulbs interesting since last autumn and now they're flowering their socks off.

Go placidly amidst the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

Ladygardener, the prunus is beautiful, I can't believe you have it flowering already.

It's obviously very happy in your garden. No sign of mine blooming yet, although it's a different type.

owdboggy, the Chionodoxa are a lovely contrast to the stones that surround it, very nice. The corydalis is flowering beautifully, around here there's not much colour apart from yellow (daffs)

I noticed the other day that the wild primroses that Jasmine sent me a couple of years ago are also coming through again...I do love them..

They're just beautiful Jilly. Nowadays children are'nt allowed to go off on their own and explore hills and places where the wild Primroses grow and even if they did, they'd be unlikely to find them as easily as I did as a child. They always make me smile.

Off course it's all been built on now.

That's so pretty Ladygardener, it looks as though it has 3 POTM so it doesn't need anymore - it's so dainty!

I have some lovely Violets blooming. They've settled in so well Jasmine although as you can see, something is eating the leaves. I have put down a few blue pellets.
