Drimia maritima

Huge thanks to Cathy who identified the mystery plant! With the one with the enormous bulb.

commonly known as sea squill.

Here is the link she sent me. :)

Gladiola

In the prettiest shade of pale salmon pink with a beautiful Yellow throat.

the flower spike

I shared this here, here and here

I still don't know what it is yet.

Daffodils

White Trumpets Yellow petals!

Wondering

What these will reveal themselves to be :)

Daffodils

I have seriously lost track of the variety of different daffodils here.

These two types were some of the last to open and have a very wide flat open trumpet.

Revealed

 Beautiful Pale yellow Hyacinths

and the blue buds I showed here are what I assume to be Bluebells this isn't the same plant I photographed previously but the same thing.

Hyacinth

Well that is what I am thinking these are :)

Waiting

... for this to open so I can see what it is

Jonquils

So cheerful!

White Jonquils

White as the snow. Just one clump of these beauties so far.

White Jonquils

A new favourite

As more and more bulbs open I am coming to realise there are more varieties of Daffodils than I could have imagined some look similar but have subtle differences in the trumpets or size. It seems every couple of days I have a new favourite.

This is my current favourite and his photo does not do it justice. The petals are cream its a mid size flower head, its a very feminine, pretty and delicate colour combo.

I still have lots more daffodils but as there is so much happening in the garden right now I am going back to daily posts and will mix it up a bit to relieve the boredom for you lovely readers :)

There is action in the potting shed now too :)

More Daffodils!

The Yellow Petal Orange trumpet are the largest variety and opened one day after the Yellow.

I see these from my kitchen window and they bring a smile to my face!

Yellow Daffodils

It was the yellow petalled yellow trumpets that opened next.

Daffodils

The white petalled ones with the yellow trumpets were the first to open.

Mini Daffodil!

Oh so sweet, with a stem just 7cm long these little sweeties caught me by surprise!

Ill share a pic of each type of daffodil in our Garden  in the following days. :)

Crocus.

Look at them emerging and blooming all around this tree now.

Sunny Yellow Crocus.

Yellow Crocus

Its beginning!

The day s a getting longer as evidenced by it still being faintly light as late as 5.30 or 6pm

now the first Jonquil has burst its budded bounds! One of my Spring favourites!

Jonquils

Snowflakes

The Flowering type not the freezing type.

Crocus!

 Yesterday teased me with a taste of Spring. The Sun was shining and the Scent of Violets was on the fresh breeze The Sunny face of the first Crocus buoyed me as did the other bulb I spotted in flower. So many flower buds appearing on the bulbs now I can identify more easily which are jonquil and which are daffodil.

I knew this tree was under planted with Crocus but it was still a lovely surprise to see one in the Sun yesterday.

Today winter has returned with enthusiasm headed for a forecast top of 8 deg and an overnight low of -4.4
