Focusing on something so tiny and so far away is hard, but I tried!

It looks to me like a chicken sitting on the centre at the top, with a red head

I see your 'chicken'

Psst, it's a sparrow lol.

It's like one of those 'magic eye' books... I can't focus on those either
Good job I'm going for an eye test in a couple of weeks!

Centre of the image, about 2/3 up from the bottom and you'll see her, lol.

Just to the right of the 'right facing, yellowy dog with a brown ear' shaped leaf ?
?

Yeah that's where I meant....
My yellow dog leaf is kissing your blue line

 

[Lorcan]

I did think so, but wanted to be sure lol. She was gorgeous, didn't stick around for very long though.

I was pleased to see my little Bobbin Robin begging in the garden the other day
Little Beiberbean Blackbird has got in on the act too,but he's not quite as tame as Bobbalino though




The Mahonia out in flower a bit more


My naughty little squirrel friend nicking the bird food!

Sorry I completely forgot I hadn't replied! @thewheakybeans
I don't really do much to my cactus, I water them on a Wednesday & Saturday normally.
I water them from the bottom & have all my plants in shallow saucers.
They sit in my kitchen window (easterly facing) with the lean to in front of it. So light but not bright/ direct sunlight. I pick off the flower heads when they've gone all leathery.

When it's flowering I put a few drops of plant food in the water. Same for the orchid.

That's about it really. I've had it for years , I've probably repotted it about 3x, if it's looking a bit sad might be worth repotting it, & teasing the roots apart, especially if its been overwatered & gone white/meldew on the roots

Ah I will try re-potting it to see if it gives it a new lease of life, thanks!

My roses are looking a little... strange, maybe shrivelled? There is new growth on them so unsure of what to do with them. I planted them in small pots as didn't want them to be lost in bigger plant pots as they are still quite small.

All my pots look quite sad, so looking forward to start tidying them up in spring.

Spring is on the way

Oh don’t they look wonderful, it lifts the spirits. I think I have lost quite a lot of mine this winter with all the rain

 

[GPTV]

I had a poke about in the garden yesterday and spotted a sprinkling of spring flowers. Nothing impressive, but enough to lift the winter drearyness and put a spring in ones step

Delicate Crocuses in the patio



Some Primroses/ Primulas








Snowdrops


The Crocuses five minutes later take two...
under Miss poopy dogs big butt!

 

[Adelyn]

Such beautiful flowers, I love spring!

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

Not a very good picture but a blossom in the middle of winter.

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

First primrose

My garden is vacant now with no one to use it. Pip hardly goes out anymore since she turned 20.

Get some pigs!

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

It's starting to feel like spring

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

This is not in the garden, but still great to see

 

[Sar]

Two of my fuchsia plants have tiny small new green growth! The sun is out and there is a lovely breeze.

Counting the weeks now until can go out and de clag/ check / trim my plants and buy summer bedding plants.

 

[Bill & Ted]

We have daffodils out (It’s a shot of my neighbours across the road as I have a stinking cold) and my car is in the way. the field down here in Cornwall are yellow with all the daffodils out too

 

[BossHogg]

Get some pigs!

Once Pip has passed, we're getting no more pets, we're going to enjoy retirement and not having to worry about pet boarding if we have an impromptu holiday.

 

[piggieminder]

We have a hint of spring here!

I don’t blame you!

 

[Betsy]

Love hyacinths but I'm highly allergic to their perfume.

 

[piggieminder]

I liked the hyacinths not the allergy! I can't have perfumed things indoors but it's okay outside as long ad I don't actually sniff them.

 

[Betsy]

I can't even go past them outside without my nose twitching and I'm lucky if I don't sneeze.

 

[Bill & Ted]

I love the smell of hyacinths, amazing scent and I’m lucky that they don’t make me sneeze
