Arrrrrrgh

I can't believe it, but... I seem to have forgotten to take a picture today. I have no excuse, except that it was Thursday.

To cheer myself up, I'm posting a pretty picture I took Monday. So I'm a cheater. Deal with it. ;)



White bluebells in the sunshine. Cheerful. more...

Day 318



We spent a glorious sunny afternoon at Harlow Carr. This photo was a bit of a surprise, as I was shooting up into the flower and thus couldn't see what I was getting. I'm pleased with what I got, though!








Auriculas in the auricula theatre.



I have been seized with an unreasonable desire to own a rhubarb forcer. And some rhubarb plants, of course. And a kitchen garden with fruit trees trained along the walls. *sigh*



Easter eggs!



Tudor rose carved on the back of a bench.



Forget-me-nots. Love them.



Grape hyacinths. Ditto.



And, last but not least, a glowing swathe of tulips.
