Despite the recent weather, spring has definitely arrived and this week’s cheerful flower is a seasonal star.

The tulips are arriving daily and this is one of my favourites. I love the shades of colour and feathering on the petals.
For a weekly dose of floral cheer, just add your name to my mailing list.
I always used to have Brown Sugar, such lovely colours and scent, but a few years ago every single flower was cut off under the bloom, whether due to an animal / bird / slug or wind I never did find out.
It’s so disappointing when that happens. I often lose iris that way – slugs and snails the culprits.
