Beautiful Things in the February Garden
Calla Lily Slime
The recent freezing weather turned all the Calla Lilies into slime…at least the part above ground. We are pretty sure the rhizomes will have survived to send up new shoots!

Crocus
But many beautiful things survived the cold, like this sweet mauve crocus – one of a package given to me by a kind and generous family member that I planted in clumps all over the garden…

Yellow Crocus
…and this yellow Crocus! We love the red stripes!!

Iris
These early early miniature irises are such pretty flowers, and apparently delicious too, because the first one to bloom got eaten by a cutworm! The entire garden is waking up – even the pests!

Witch Hazel
This corner of the garden glows at this time of year, whatever the weather! We love the sweet and astringent smell of this little shrub almost as much as we love looking at it!

Siyah
And here in the very back corner of the garden, we found our beautiful cat sitting on a stack of fence posts! The garden is full of beautiful things!

Quimper Hittys 
I do miss the first tiny blooms of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere…
We don’t get the snow of winter usually, but the endless dark clouds and rain are very dampening. The early flowers are so pretty and delicate, we love them too!
So lovely 🥰
I do love Iris’ and have a few in my front yard. Mine are white with orange beards ♥️
Your Irises sound so exciting! These tiny purple ones are almost the first blooms in the garden – we love them!
Fab fabric in that frock.
Isn’t it!? Henrietta feels very scientific when she wears it!
Flowers are starting to bloom here too – very cheery-uppy!
Aren’t they?! Cheery-uppy is so good after (and during) the damp dark days!
nothing blooming here yet so I really enjoyed the tour of your spring garden. Thank you for a nice morning walk.
We always leap out of doors when we see there is a little glow of sunshine! Otherwise we might miss it and sink back into rainy lethargy!
