Tulip time in the garden and time to bring out the solar powered garden water feature during this week of sunshine.
The ''black' parrot tulip bulbs planted in the Autumn are beginning to open their flower heads. Of course, they're not true black, but dark purple.
A box of delights arrived - an Easter gift from son and family.
Another peace lily has flowered. It was one of the baby plants from an original that got re-potted last year brought to us by our Berkshire daughter.
Daughter D and I regularly exchange photos of what is growing in our gardens, by email. Below are the white hyacinths and varieties of tulip blooming in pots in her garden.
This week Daughter D crocheted a mauve shawl with daisy pattern for a Berkshire group. (The pile of blankets is a photo taken from their Facebook page). There was a call out from them (Wokingham in Need, who in different ways support the homeless and anyone in need) for those who can knit, crochet or sew to make items, especially blankets and shawls. These items are given to those receiving care in a hospital or a hospice or other setting.
The fig tree is not in leaf, but there is plenty of other greenery in the garden.
Thank you for your visit. I hope you have a peaceful and safe weekend.
P.S. I've noticed that some photos on this blog post uploaded and then were lost overnight so I've had to re-do them. I'm not sure why this is happening. Older blog posts have the same issue. It's another Blogger technical fault to solve.
