Fragile Blooms

The fragility of delicate spring flowers never ceases to amaze me. After a few days of sunshine last week the garden is ablaze with colour, including these little beauties which have emerged from no where. Not planted by us but a very welcome addition to the spring show. But this week has changed things completely, rain, wind, sleet, we have had it all. Yet through it all the blooms manage to survive, they are simply amazing.

Daffodills are a special sping flower for me as i carried a bouquet of them on my wedding day, nearly 22 years ago. How the seasons change, on that day in mid April they were the only flower to be seen in our local park where the photos were taken. But today we have Camelia, Cherry, Forsythia, Pulmonaria, Tulips, Muscari, and even a Rhododendron opening its buds. But its still the daffodills that i am picking for the house.
