BLOSSOM, BLOSSOM

 Let me get the cherries and damson done with then we can move on - 

And finally the Great White Japanese Cherry rescued by Collingwood Ingram in the 1920s when he took cuttings back to Japan after the tree died out there. Now everywhere over there.

And more blossom pics - plums, damsons and greengage.

Right - Lots wild flowers out - dog violets, forgetmenots which grow wild in the wood, let alone the primroses and cowslips, wood anemone, golden saxifrage etc etc.

Hello , the lamb gang are out again, more fence repairs needed.

And elsewhere rosemary, narcissi, flowering currant and, now falling, camellias.

In the house we have an amaryllis in full boom and we went to Holker Hall where I bought a large pink, Mrs Sinkins and its scent fills the downstairs.

We have a gardener and he has trimmed the stream sides and cut back most of the buddleias, AND due to pressure I am having my sit on mower sold!!

White comfrey sows itself around, the skimmia is covered in bumble bees and the acer is in full spring leaf colour.

And finally what to I end on, the blossom on the blackthorn in the hedge, one glorious camellia flower or the sighting at the cattle grid yesterday of a hare - magical sight.
