Crocus bulbs of different varieties and colours keep appearing in my garden as solitary blooms of colour. Fiona and Danny over at The Cottage Smallholder are enjoying pockets of beautiful wild crocus.
My favourite crocus from this year is the beautiful bright yellow crocus. Do you have a favourite type of crocus?

The Winter flowering crocus imperati is beginning to bloom in the orchard. I have one lone crocus so far and I look forward to seeing the beautiful petals open so that the magnificence of this pretty flower can brighten up the dreary landscape.

I noticed the first snowdrops began to emerge on the 18th January this year.
I love to see the carpets of snowdrops along the hedgerows and in my orchard. One year my husband gave me a bunch of snowdrops for Valentine’s day and he even arranged them in a heart shape in the vase!

I have a fuchsia planted in a pot near my back door and this week the blooms have started to open out. I particularly like this fuchsia as it has pinky red outer petals and then white petals forming the bell shape with pinky red stigma and stamen.
Do you have a favourite fuchsia?
