Sweetness

Candytuft

Henrietta wandered through the Candytuft, and discovered that April is a month of sweetness in the Quimper Garden. This Iberis plant may have the sweetest name…

Jonquil

…but she thinks the lovely Jonquil has the sweetest scent.

.

Anemone

Scarlet Anemone is trying to flower again (the deer think this is the sweetest tasting blossom)…

.

.

Rhododendron

…and the pink Rhododendron has been so pretty and encouragingly sweet for a month, though now it’s beginning to brown around the petal edges.

Aubretia

Henrietta likes these delicate Aubretia flowers from close-up – at a distance the intense purple is almost too dazzling!

Eggs!

This kind of sweetness only appears once a year…

.

Apron

…Henrietta ran back to the cupboard to show her sisters that the chocolate eggs are sprouting!
