My Doulton Dragon Vase















A small palette knife oil I did some years back. I used it here as a backdrop for Doronicum stuck in a spice jar.








This is Pulmonaria 'Blue Ensign@, which I prefer over the rosy/blue more common ones. Only this one refuses to spread in my garden, whereas the others are now all over the place.




I mixed all these and turned them into a pastel










This is on my kitchen window sill right now.

And these primula elatior are outside, in the midst of unraked leaves.




and the doulton dragon vase with an arrangement of sorts:

Below for Cathy from gardening in a city, my Hippeastrum 'Picottee', to show that the edges can be very red indeed. I have had these for about 8 years now,

You have got so many lovely flowers to look at, both indoors and out. Gorgeous photos too. :)

So many beautiful blooms. The yellow daisies have to be my favourites, though.

Spring has most certainly arrived in your part of the world! You have a lot of beautiful flowers to show off. The blue Pulmonaria (one of the many plants I can't grow here in Southern California) is exceptional as are the Iris. (Perhaps you can tell that I have a soft spot for blue flowers.) I love the photo collage showing the backlit Hippeastrum too.
