Tentative Signs of Spring


There were few things of interest happening in the garden. The Magnolia grandiflora had made several fat seedpods which burst showing their scarlet-pink seeds. 

Cornus florida buds fattened for the following spring and if you bent closely enough to the ground, the very early signs of Helleborus x hybridus seedlings are showing. 


One or two flowers of  Geranium ‘Rozanne’ remain and the hydrangea’s are showing beautiful shades of pink and green. Very little gardening could be done, for despite being mostly dry the wind was bitterly cold.
