Our Brunnera macrophylla “Jack Frost” - taking centre stage, as it should! [click to embiggen]
I had another busy day in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers yesterday - I potted up some brand new Zantedeschina aethiopica (hardy Calla lilies) tubers that arrived in the post earlier this week, repotted a whole load of biennial foxgloves and campanula we have been nurturing since last summer, split and potted-on a tangled mass of baby self-seeded ferns that had been bunged into one pot for the winter, and did the same for some nerine bulbs [that have done bugger all for years, in the hope they might one day give us some flowers] and a few hardy geraniums to increase the stock.
Phew. One might think that flurry of activity might prompt a nice, quiet day to follow - but we plan (the side-winds of "Storm Dave" - yes, "Dave" - permitting) to pay a long-overdue visit to the horticultural wonderland of Crews Hill, and the phenomenal Gardening Club [before the bastards pull it all down in favour of one of the Labour government's flagship "new towns" - as was confirmed recently] today.
Meanwhile... some home decor suggestions, courtesy of Soft Tempo Lounge:
Perfectly lovely.

I do miss gardening. Your photo screams spring. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe Brunnera has been quite a revelation - beautiful plant! We have two more little ones growing on, so hopefully there'll be an even bigger display next year. Jx
DeleteWe too had a glorious Saturday...but no gardening... many errands were run to the market and liquors store for the dinner for family tonight.
ReplyDeleteWe had ours in a pub, on our way back home with bags of new goodies for the garden - much easier. Jx
DeleteI missed the planting season again! We'll have to go with store bought flowers and plants this year! I need to plant betteer, sweetpea! Y'all are an inspiration. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to plant anything, Savvy! That's why we go to garden centres regularly - one can never have too many plants, even in a garden as tiny as ours with almost everything in pots... Jx
DeleteOMFG this interior design stuff is the bees knees in the auction houses now .
ReplyDeletePersonally I wouldn't give you tuppence for any of it.
Me neither, but the music's camp! Jx
