Today we are having the best of April weather. A bit of sunshine, a bit of rain ... could be warmer, but that's not meant to be at the moment.

They first blossoms of cowslip.
In German they are called Himmelschlüssel - key to heaven.

Wild primroses like to emerge in the lawn every year. It looks like a new one has appeared too!







The dark purple magnolia is now bloomimg.





I believe this is a Lily of the Valley bush (pieris), but I'm not certain. Beautiful leaves though!





I think these two are Rhododendrons, the pink being an Azalea.





And I love dandelions! They're no weed to me!

Some gorgeous forget-me-nots.





A white camellia (or the "egg plant", as I like to call it).



Excited to see how this Allium grows!



And some tulips my.mum is growing.

These are from two years ago (and between May to June), but are very cheery!

















Pretty moth



... And my absolute favourite photo:



I love how the sun caught the petals. It reminds me of a fiery supernova!

I don't know what this one is, but I like it!

I don't know what this one is, but I like it!

In German it's called Schneeball (meaming snow ball), the Latin name is Virbunum. I'm not sure about the name in English. Guelder rose?

I think it is a viburnum, yes, but not the guelder rose. It might be viburnum lantana, in English that has the lovely name of " wayfaring tree".

 

[Lorcan]

Well I've already decided I want one in the garden.

[Tigermoth]

[Viennese Furbabies]
