More popular in front gardens from gardeners who want spring colour and ground cover are heathers, often in this purple flower / white flower combo.
Yellow flowers: lesser celandines
Perhaps it’s just because I’ve been paying a bit more attention, but this year I’ve been noticing several front lawns which are completely carpeted with bright yellow from flowering lesser celandines.
Fooling about
Not sure exactly what’s meant to be going on here, but the monks seem to be fooling around with the great big bell. Doorknocker which was someone’s souvenir of a visit to Sherbourne, presumably.
Dandelions about to open
Dandelions just before the flowers started to open. Pictures all in shades of green.
Fruit and flowers – Chinese barberry
Fruit (or are they berries) showing on the same plant as the opening flowers which will produce a fresh years crop. Chinese barberry growing in a front garden.
Cherry blossom, blue sky
Spring, so it’s time for flowering cherry trees to put out their flowers. I caught these on a morning when it wasn’t raining for once.
