Hello Lovelies,
with the blissfully warmer temperatures we have enjoyed this past week my garden has suddenly burst into life.
There are not that many flowers yet but the ones that are in bloom looked so happy in the sunshine I couldn't resist photographing them.
I've played around making a mosaic of the prettiest ....Oh and a beetle :0)........
L to R from the top they are....
1.Grape Hyacinth 2.Daffodil 3. Pansy
4. Hellebore 5.Ladybird 6. Lung-wort
7. Hyacinth 8. Tulip 9. Kilmarnock Willow
These are mostly pretty familiar to you lovelies I'm sure, but such a joy to see after a long, cold winter.
I'm planning to do a mosaic like this each month through the summer as it seems like an ideal way to record and share the changes in my garden as we progress through the year.
My ( our ) garden is very much a family space , with lots of stuff....currently a trampoline, a rabbit run, swings and a large slide. Not to mention the mess behind the shed , but it's well used and much loved.
Here is how my favourite border looks in mid April. You can just see my veg patch in the distance. There is not much in flower here yet, just Lung-wort and some miniature Daffodils, but I thought it would also be nice to record how this part of the garden changes through the summer months and into Autumn ....
I hope you will enjoy seeing the changes and the prettiest bits of this little patch of earth that gives me so much pleasure.

Beautiful flowers, even more stunning together! :) x
ReplyDeletePretty flowers. You have inspired me to take photos of the flowers just coming through in my garden.

What a lovely idea x
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs of your flowers. I might just have to pinch your mosaic idea for the end of the month.
ReplyDeleteGoodness a ladybird not seen one of those yet this year... Did see my first bumble bees at the weekend feeding on the comfrey flowers... the garden is usually buzzing by now. Lovely flower patchwork, I do't know how to do that will have to investigate. Cx
ReplyDeleteI love seeing other peoples gardens especially as we're pretty much starting from scratch with ours. I like your idea of doing a mosaic of flowers every month. I might borrow that idea if you don't mind although at the moment I only have daffodils and primulas blooming in my garden. I hope there will be more next Spring. Love seeing the shadow of your washing on the grass. I've had mine out too and it's been lovely to bring in clothes smelling of fresh Spring air. Fiona x
ReplyDeleteLovely photos so nice to see the colour from those flowers you certainly have a lot more out in your garden than I have. I have noticed that in my garden the hyacinths are in bud and nearly ready to release that wonderful scent. Enjoy the colour x
ReplyDeletePretty flowers! They brightened up my day :) So good to see that you finally are in Spring! I like your garden and looking forward to see your plants!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Spring mosaic to gladden our eyes after this long winter!
ReplyDeleteLove the ladybug in the center picture. Flowers are blooming here in Indiana also. I love Spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely mosaic of blooms, thank you, they are very cheering! You have a lovely family garden - it looks like a very happy place. Thank you for sharing your lovely post once again Jacquie. Joy
ReplyDeleteyour garden is beautiful! and your photos are always wonderful! congratulations and kisses from Catalonia!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely to start seeing the garden come alive and burst in to colour - and not a moment too soon! :) x
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, I don't have much of a garden since getting my Dalmatian last year, he is a bit of a digger and has also emptied a few of my pots! I have got a patch of lungwort though and some shrubs! How did you make the mosaic if you don't mind me asking, is it done on photoshop or similar? Rowen@Coastal Colours x
ReplyDeleteGot that post at mine, thanks Jacquie x
DeleteWhat a lovely cheery mosaic, so pretty! x
ReplyDeleteFunny I was snapping flower pics today too Jacquie. Our gardens are certainly something to celebrate when the sun comes out. I look forward to seeing yours change in the next few months x Thanks for sharing all those pretty colours x Penny
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mosaic to celebrate your lovely spring flowers so colourful!

ReplyDeleteA lovely idea Jacquie......didn't recognise the Lungwort and the Willow. So nice to see your garden springing to life.
ReplyDeleteNice to have a seat in the border so you can really enjoy it.
A lovely time of year......enjoy it.

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite photo, the one with the shadow of the laundry. That's real life and I love it. Such a creative composition. Keep those drawings coming. My whole family adore them.
ReplyDeleteDear Jacquie
ReplyDeleteYour garden is gorgeous. Could you please come to my place and fix mine? I haven't touched ours because if I do, it will die. Seriously.
I'd love to have bulbs and things. I planted some a few years ago, some of the jonquils came up, then my mother in law pulled them out when she was weeding and they were never the same again.
We've got lots of shrubs and things, and hydrangeas, agapanthas and geraniums. Last spring and summer, only the geraniums flowered and the aggies were pathetic. I have no idea why.
