When the heavy rain and stormy winds seen as the precursor of storm Eowen made way for a sunny afternoon I rambled around the garden perusing plants in search of signs of Spring.
Those I pictured bear their titles in this gallery.
I spent the rest of the afternoon learning more about ‘The Brontës’.
This evening we dined on tempura prawns and spring rolls on Jackie’s colourful savoury rice; and tender runner beans, with which I finished the merlot.
Your garden is always the first to tell us Spring is on the way.
Thank you very much, GP
Promising photos.
Bomb cyclone Éowyn is on it’s way. We have been adviced to stay inside tomorrow evening.
Thank you very much, Rupali
Spring is busting out all over at your place!!
hank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Such beautiful harbingers of spring! I don’t think we’ll see them for a while here.
Thank you very much, Merril
Spring? It doesn’t feel as if we have had summer here yet. It’s been soooo windy.
We are getting the winds tomorrow. Thanks very much, Gwen
I confess to a bit of jealousy about your flowers. We’ve got a month of possible snow yet. 🙂
Thank you so much, Julie
Judging by the flowers, Derrick, you are ready to welcome spring. The pink Camelia is precious.
Thank you so much, Dolly
I am extremely envious Derrick. We had some more snow last night. The ground is frozen, and we won’t be seeing any spring growth for a couple of more months to come.
Ah the joys of a sheltered garden in the New Forest. We have no spring flowers here in Berkshire.
It is always a treat to see how the other half lives. Spring? Ha!
The first signs bring so much joy.
Lovely blooms as always Derrick. What do you call thd flowers in the first photo?
Signs of Spring. I am jealous.
Yay!
Such beauty in your gardens. Mine are resting waiting for warmer weather.
We are about halfway through winter here and everything seems brown, but you’ve done a wonderful job finding signs of spring!
It’s only January! Wow, we live in such different climes! Beautiful, Derrick.
Beautiful little flowers Derrick. How appropriate for Jackie to have “spring” rolls for dinner.
