The crocus and tete a tete narcissi are for me, the first signs of spring at the plot but this year they were flattened by the beasts. The next flower to emerge is the tulip and although a bit behind, I’ve been tracking her progress from tight bud to full-blown flower.
The star is Pink Impression.

Life is a patchwork of moments — laughter, solitude, everyday joys, and quiet aches. Through scribbled stories, I explore travels both far and inward, from sunrise over unfamiliar streets to the comfort of home. This is life as I see it, captured in ink and memory. Stick around; let's wander together.

That is a gorgeous colour combination with the darker tulip! My first tulips have been ‘Showcase’, ‘Passionale’ and ‘Exotic Emperor’. The others are starting to catch up… In fact I just wrote a post about my unripe tulips!

Lovely. My crocuses didn’t fare well this year, and most of the daffodils been and gone already. Thankfully I have a few tulips which are just starting to flower. xx
I want more tulips 😊
You won’t regret it😁
😁
Hyacinths! I have plans for tulips and daffodils next spring, I never quite get around to it in Autumn, but this year I’m going to get bulbs planted!
I love Tulips, these are beautiful 🙂
Gorgeous blooms!
