Our daffs have been glowing in the sunshine today!
Happy Saint David's Day, dear reader!
It's been a beautiful day for the celebration of all things Welsh - and floral - and I have spent it fruitfully in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers. I've dug out and repotted a big Thalictrum and two hardy geraniums, pruned back a few more ferns, and redone the window box that had been ripped out and scattered everywhere by a bastard fox, pottering and tidying as I went along. Now I'm aching - but happy.
Speaking of things to cheer one's spirits - how about a bit [and I know which bit I'd have liked when he still looked like that!] of Sir Tom Jones, Tom Jones? Os gwelwch yn dda!
Fab-las!
Speaking of all things Welsh - "What's occurring?"
Well lush.
I love those daffs! I wonder if I’ll be able to find any at a local florists. DyaknowhatImean?

DeleteIt warm and sunny here too, but were at least over a month till any bulbs flower.
ReplyDeleteGosh. Even snowdrops? Our first sign of Spring; they start blooming in early January... Jx
DeleteIf the temps stay like this though, we could get the lawn crocus blooming. They are generally the first to bloom.
DeleteCrocus are the most joyful of all the early bulbs! Jx
DeleteI'm looking forward to some next year! Meanwhile, slightly late...Cymru am bydd
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd forgotten your impending move back to NZ! Everything we grow here will grow there, no problem. Jx
DeleteI had to look up Thalictrum, it looks charming
ReplyDeleteIt's a joy! We have two - one gives us fluffy pink flowers in late Spring, and the other grows about six feet tall with tiny cup-shaped pale pink flowers later in the season. In a tiny garden like ours, they provide the height we want without much fuss. Jx
DeleteTidy.
ReplyDeleteHave a Lush St. David's Day.
and both the garden and I say thank you for your hard work in the garden.
Diolch yn fawr! Jx
