Late January…

and both clumps of crocuses are now flowering.  By the dog rose are the white Snow Bunting and on the main flower patch are the yellow Romance.       The later have a silvery sheen to the backs of the petals.

Here are two archive pictures, from March 2010 (left) and February 2014 (right) showing close-up views of the flowers.

I went to the plot yesterday after lunch just for a look round, and although it had been a rainy day on Tuesday the ground wasn’t as soggy as I thought it would be.

The weather looks like remaining unsettled through into next week with more rain and not much sunshine, so I’ll be mostly armchair gardening.

Have a good weekend, and take care!

  1. Goodness gracious me! My brain is still in midwinter so flowers on the plot for 2026 growth were far from my thoughts. Super to see the sunny Crocuses. The Bunting is a very sweet pure little bloom🥰.

  2. I love crocuses, I think the buttery yellow ones are my favourite but they all bring with them such cheer, it’s lovely to see colour at this time of year. It’s very grey here just now, we’re getting lots of fog, and lots of rain too.
