Trebah Gardens

We had a lovely Valentine walk on Sunday at the gardens. It was strangely quiet, the weather much more pleasant than forecast and I found many more signs of Spring. Just look...

drifts of cyclamen...

 daffodils just opening their nodding heads...

and even a few camellias ...

...so, you see, Spring really is on the way.

This was a beautiful sweet smelling plant, sarcocca confusa I think.

This one looks like a rhododendron to me but they said it was a camellia. What do you think?
Here are some more pics of the garden...

These are still quite wintry scenes but we'll pop back later in the year and take some photos of the garden in all it's glory! x

Craving Colour

On these grey dreary days I have noticed that many bloggers are desperately craving colour.
I too am experiencing this yearning. I think it's got more to do with the anticipation of Spring, and so I have brought a bit of Spring to me!

They're looking a little a bit weather beaten but they are my little patch of colour by my front door, there to greet me as I go out and come home. Such simple things to satisfy the soul.
I'm off now for a Valentine's meal and walk at a local garden. Hopefully will find more evidence of Spring coming there too!
Hope you have a nice Sunday.
