On our Corona-walk this morning...

The beauty of spring in full swing this morning as we walked between Great Wilbraham an Little Wilbraham.  Mostly hedgerows, but also a cottage garden in Little Wilbraham which will be well known to locals. Interesting to non-residents will be to see where the principal local landowner has had a hedge, which runs beside the road between the two villages, laid rather than flayed.  Thank you Richard Wright!

Spring Flowers, Quince Leaf-Burst, Zaphod the Miniature Narcissus

I love this time of year in the garden - the trees are beginning to burst into leaf and the delicate yellow flowers of spring are in their prime condition.

Last autumn we went to Scotsdales Garden Centre  in the autumn and availed ourselves of bulbs by the bucketful.  Good value and excellent results  we had a mixed bunch of narcissi including some miniatures with are only 5 or 6 inches tall and, like Zaphod Beeblebrox, have multiple heads on a single stem.

A Day at the Garden Centre

Scotsdales, a large garden centre in Cambridge invited members of Cambridge Camera Club to come along to take photos of plants today (Sunday) we mostly split our time between shooting plants on display and bringing them back to the conference room which they had loaned us to try som more controlled set-ups  I was so taken with the blue hydrangea that I brought it home.  Must now buy some ericaceous compost to keep it blue!
