Waiting for the snow to settle 🤞🏼 Iris Reticula ‘Alida’ Narcissi bulbocodium ‘Arctic Bells’ And Hyacinths waiting in the wings
Cold winter dawns with warm winter light
Windowsill Wednesday. The movement of time measured in buds and bells. Narcissus ‘Arctic Bells’. Planted on December 28th some time between 3 and 4 pm.
Seeds that turn into flowers- another limited run of my illustrated packets will be back in the shop soon! A labour of love, with countless hours of late night drawing, and I’m hopelessly in love with how they’ve turned out- I hope you love them too. (I’m sending out the date and time of the shop opening in the newsletter tomorrow, so if you want to be ahead of the game, sign up via the website)
Earlier and earlier each and every morning
Windowsill Wednesday. Each day one more thing flowers- here’s to counting every single one. . Hazel catkins Hellebore Niger ‘Christmas rose’ Heuchera ‘Marmalade’ Sarcococca Sedum Snowdrop Double flowered snowdrop (sorry galanthophiles, I don’t known their proper names) Leucojum Moss
Winter light, milk and honey.
A medley of frosts and winter sun; the warmth thawed the cold, and the birds began to sing. Picture one and two- skeletons of last summer- grass (agrostis I think) and knapweed. Picture three- the permanent garden with skeletons of bronze fennel and phlomis.
Windowsill Wednesday. Signs of hope that there are better days ahead. . Narcissus ‘Hugh Town’, ‘Soleil D’or’, and Tulip ‘White Marvel’ from @flowersbyclowance Mahonia flowers Briza Maxima Honesty Setaria
Just days away from opening, the snowdrops are almost here. Then there will be primroses and violets, daffodils and narcissus, followed by the bluebells and iris, and then it will be warm again and there will be leaves on the trees; all good things from here on out.
Still winter- still seeking solace with statice strawflowers.
Windowsill Wednesday. The hard frost swiped the last of the flowers, and laid bare bones of the garden. Listening now for the quietest shuffles of new growth, and for the whispers of all the good things to come. . Sweet peas that need pinching Ammi Majus seedlings basking in the sunshine Narcissus- paper-whites, and arctic bells, violas and second sowings of Ammi Sweet peas that don’t need pinching
