As there isn't much else to add to this post, I thought I'd show a few more photos I took at Harlow Carr last Saturday.
One of the borders which was covered in snow but which I'm sure will be beautiful when everything starts blooming again.

The snow still hanging around, but starting to melt. I'm sure it's all gone by now.

Snowdrops.

Narcissus Romieuxii in the Alpine House.

Roses are still giving a little colour, even in the depths of winter.

I hope to have more photos to include in these posts in future months, I must get out and about more with my camera.
Love that Narcissus. This and the last post have inspired me to use my greenhouse to better effect in winter.
ReplyDeleteI do too, it's so delicate looking. My greenhouse is only used to store things and overwinter tender plants during winter, it's only small though, 4X6, so there isn't really room to start up a winter hobby in there.
DeleteThe weather is really against us getting good photos these days. Yours are very nice.
ReplyDeleteIt is, we've had so many dark, drizzly days. A bit more sunshine would be very welcome.
DeleteGreat pictures of lovely gardens, I'm sure you will love revisiting when the spring bulbs are out xcx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. There were lots of containers planted up with bulbs and of course, there'll be plenty in the gardens too.
DeleteWhat a good idea for a post. I may well do something similar if I get my photos sorted out. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteI find I've always got photos which don't fit in to a blog post for one reason or another. I thought it was a good idea for a post until I came to do it this month, isn't it typical that it's been a quiet month on the photo taking front.
DeleteThe narcissus is awesome... I have never seen here.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a pretty variety. I have some just pushing through the soil in the garden but the ones I have aren't as dainty as these.
DeleteRoses and snowdrops, what a beautiful combination. The alpines are gorgeous too, so exotic looking.
ReplyDeleteIt's not often we can say we've seen roses and snowdrops in the same garden. There's some real treasures in the Alpine House, such pretty little blooms.
DeleteThis is one reason that we started an online photo portfolio and why I started my Wordless Wednesday posts - we just don't know when to stop clicking do we?
ReplyDeleteIt's just all too easy with digital cameras. I'm hoping that a few more of my photos will get used with these monthly posts.
DeleteI noticed my snowdrops were just emerging last week, but no narcissi here yet, no any snow!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even noticed my snowdrops yet, I think I need to have a good look around when I go out again. We're forecast snow again overnight, though it's blowing a gale at the moment.
DeleteNice Jo, but the one I love best, are those cute little narcissus, just gorgeous. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThe narcissus is so pretty. Alpines tend to look too delicate to grow outdoors, they're fabulous for displays in dedicated houses like this one at Harlow Carr.
DeleteIt is always lovely to see more of your out and about pictures! I will enjoy them over the summer and hope you enjoy taking and sharing them. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to do plenty of garden visiting over the course of the year so there should be plenty of opportunities for a bit of photography.
DeleteOur snowdrops are sneaking into flower now, but little else apart from hellebores.
ReplyDeleteThose random roses are so very welcome in the depths of winter, aren't they.
It's the same here, though I haven't even seen any snowdrops in the garden yet. It's been a bit of a strange year seeing roses blooming amongst snowdrops and hellebores, very welcome though.
DeleteWhat a good idea Jo, I'm the same, I always have far too many pics that don't belong in a post. How lovely to see flowers blooming, I can't wait for spring and to see the back of this horrible cold weather.xxx
ReplyDeleteI think most of the few blooms around will now be covered by the snow we've had overnight, I'm so looking forward to spring and a return to some warmer weather.
