|
As mentioned in another post, I nipped out as night was drawing in and took a few pics from my garden, signs that spring is here!
Bergenia
Fresh, young chives.
Daff buds
Daffs open!
Hyacinths still a way off flowering
Iris berries
Mahonia flowers - these will smell GREAT!
Pansys in my pots are picking up now the days are longer and warmer
peach blossom buds - a good month off opening.
New shoots on my Photinia Red Robin
Pink primula
Primrose
Primulas
Pulmanaria
Single snow drops still going strong
Double snowdrops going over now
These are my favourite crocus, lovely candy stripes.
Hope you enjoyed my dusk walk around the garden.

After all that long wait for spring it has finally arrived for you. 
I have never had Iris produce berries, what sort are they?

Oh, wow, is that the Iris foetidissima? We can't grow them, it's too cold for them here. You've got lovely blooms, enjoy them doubly!

Lovely
You are officially Springed. 
(night time photos are looking good, so clear - is that your technique?)
