Pretty primulas and primroses with their delicate enticing smell, large flowered hellibores both pink and white with their freckled faces shyly hanging down, clematis Freckles which is hardly ever out of bloom, viburnums, their pink buds opening to white clusters of flowers, and two bright yellow flowers, mahonia and winter flowering jasmine.
Mahonias are excellent garden shrubs, their leaves are mid to dark shiny green and look great when the flowers are in bloom, and later the added bonus of pretty bunches of dark blue berries. These shrubs are very tolerant of almost any condition and don't mind how hard they are cut back, and a bonus is that for some reason in my garden the chaffinches love them.
As I walk I realise that the lawn is still daisy spangled.
Daffodil plants are three inches high and not so tall but clearly visible are snowdrop leaves, everywhere I look there are fat buds on trees and bushes, the promise of a pretty spring soon to come.
