TODAY'S FLOWERS are MY WORLD ~ Spring has Sprung


Spring came early this year, these Snowflakes flowered
early in July and are now just a memory . . .



now I have pots and pots of Hyacinths in all the colours of
the rainbow . . .


the Bridal Veil has burst into bloom and is spreading it's
gentle scent.


Viburnum burkwoodii has such a strong perfume that it
is best enjoyed at a short distance.


Prunus blossoms are a boon for the bees as the


Almond trees are shedding their snowy petals on the grass.


This last week I have been speed pruning my 150 roses and
having to do a great deal of tree surgery on them as they
have been totally neglected over last three years. I am stiff
and sore and am not quite half way there but with these late
blooms that I have just pruned off, how can I give up now?

  32. Gorgeous flowers, and I can smell those fragrances from here.Now I am truly envious Arija. We are fast loosing daylight each day, just one of the many reminders that our seasons are leading into winter.
    I need you to sometime tell me what can do with my lovely rose hips.
