In this week's Monday vase are some of my this time of year favourites mainly :
- Narcissus 'Thalia' - although I prefer the smaller narcissi the taller 'Thalia' is probably my all time favourite narcissus of all.
- Some yellow from the thug that is lamium galeobdolon 'Variegatum,' also known as the variegated yellow archangel. I have a long-standing love- hate relationship with it.
- A spring of dicentra spectablis alba which I know is known by another name beginning with an L but the spelling of the new name has never stuck with me.
- Some blue from brunnera macrophylla, probably 'Jack Frost'.
- Some much paler blue from a muscari, identity unknown - in fact it's almost more white to the naked eye suffused with the palest touch of blue.
The title of my post is a nod to one of Donovan's songs which you can listen to here.
Thanks as always to the lovely Cathy over at 'Rambling In the Garden' for her steadfast year round hosting.
After a very windy and cool couple of days bought about by the latest named storm - Storm Dave, today has been much calmer and warmer. We have done some planting with more lined up for tomorrow. The greenhouse calls with more pricking out on the to do list as well as sowing some half-hardy annuals. Fortunately it looks as if we will have two beautiful days to come and for the first time this year the temperature might hit that magic 20 degrees centigrade! Wishing you all a good week in the garden.
Oh, lovely, this is in a similar vein to mine really, isn't it? Minus the lamium, which I could have included, and Thalia, which I couldn't - and the brunnera too, although I did use some of that in a posy yesterday. So not all like mine really! 😂I am glad you got some sunshine today and are anticipating more tomorrow. I have just started potting on now, so space will become increasingly limited 🙄
