ESCAPISM!
~ which I will be indulging in today by visiting gardens all over the globe. Today is Garden Bloggers' Day which is hosted on the fifteenth of each month over at May Dreams Gardens. There will be extraordinary examples of all sorts of plants and enthusiasm and expertise are the order of the day. No doubt engulfing February ennui will evaporate as I explore and my plant wish list will just expand and EXPAND!
Here the weather is far from exciting. As wet stuff falls from the ether photographic events are proving most elusive ~ close examination of exactly what is blooming in my outer environment is evading me. I know though that as a result of the extremely cold early winter, that there is definitely less in flower than on either the same date last February or the February before. Here though is one that I took earlier ~ yesterday to be exact of some exceptionally elegant snowdrops ~
Now why not endeavor to explore the letter E over at ABC Wednesday?
The top photograph was taken last summer at the International Garden Festival at Chaumont - sur - Loire, in France.
I should love to fly away . . . to escape from this deep winter landscape. If it were not for painting and guests I might try. Gorgeous snowdrops!
ReplyDeleteDear Anna, I shall....escape that is...for tomorrow I fly to Budapest! The snow awaits!!!
ReplyDeleteOne really good photo of snowdrops is always worth seeing. I am in snow-covered Pennsylvania, US, but the temperature suddenly shot up and I managed to find some flowers outside. Happy GBBD, Carolyn
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you were glad to see these snowdrops put in an appearance after losing some this year. I should really plant more in my garden, I only have an odd one here and there.
ReplyDeleteLove the snowdrops - the ones I planted last year appear to have gone to the snowdrop graveyard, odd really when ones I inherited survived!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! I, too, am so ready to fly away to somewhere that has some sun, some warm breeze, some blue skies! Have to admit this winter has really gotten to me!! Great post for the E Day! Hope you have a wonderful week!

the snowdrops are beautiful - no matter how many come up!
ReplyDeletewonderful post for E, - love your photos, and the idea of Escaping really appeals to me!
ReplyDeleteLovely snowdrops, we have some coming out here in the garden that I never knew existed
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have an internet place to escape when the weather is so blah and uninteresting. Hope its perks up your day.
ReplyDeleteescape sounds good to me

Escape is a good thing, I think. :) Love the succulents and the beautifully fresh snowdrops.
ReplyDeleteHow nice, great idea about the letter E.I think I would have a garden, it's the right time!
ReplyDeleteHugs and a nice day!

I adore the first photo and the snowdrops make me smile.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snowdrops, I hope in time our small scattering looks more clump-like too. I too took refuge form yet another grey wet day by travelling the globe admiring other people's blooms, and planning future blooms for my own space. Escapism is the perfect antidote to February dankness.
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful another favorite is mine are flaming hearts that look like this but are a rich pink color
ReplyDeleteSometimes the only way I can "Fly Away" is on the web....
ReplyDeleteYour garden getaway sounds great.
very nice...:)I like it!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my ABC Wednesday entry as well. Much appreciated!
I like the idea of an arrangement standing on a metal grill kind of surface as light could get to plants underneath. Will add to my list of garden ideas :-)
ReplyDeleteYour snowdrops are lovely and a nice clear shot you got.

Beautiful blooms! I hope to have some snowdrops next year too
ReplyDeleteHello Anna - could not enjoin with this ABC wednesday and unlike your startlingly white patch, the snow on my drops has evaded me this year. Escaped from London yesterday as ennui got the better of me though this enjoyable entry has enlivened me.
