These are lovely. Im loving all our jonquils too out at the moment. Like your crabapple blossom, way to early, I have had 2 ranunculus blooms pop up out of the ground. They aren't due til October....Crazy weather we are having.
I have a chicken crossing one too, but the chooks are real! I don't let them out much because they eat head for the vegie patch and the dog is a ratbag where the chooks are concerned!
Oh, snowdrops! They are the early sign of spring where I grew up. I'm not sure if it counts in Australia, but I like to think that we're done with winter.
It's one of the things in the garden I look forward to in winter is the bulbs coming up and flowering. When the daffodils flower I will be definitely celebrating winter almost being done. Yay for longer sunny days!
You could try an African Daisy(arctotis or osteospermum), they come in all sorts of great colours and have a daisy like flower. My girls trudge all over mine every now and again and it seems to bounce back. Depends if you get a bit of sun under it or not.

ReplyDeleteReally odd weather, there are some trees about town getting their green leaves growing back already.
DeleteReally gorgeous shots. Looks more like spring!
ReplyDeleteNice to have a bit of colour in winter, besides all the green.
DeleteYour garden must look fantastic. These are beauitful. I love the snow drops the best!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - do you have Jonquils out already. Mine are pushing up into nearly flower now.
ReplyDeleteThe jonquils always flower earlier than any of the other bulbs here. The daffodils are just popping up out of the ground now.
DeleteStunning shots, The jonquils and, marigold & the bee - Love !
ReplyDeleteSnowdrops are my fav, remind me of growing up. That colour of the Happy Wanderer is stunning!
ReplyDeleteGlorious pics. Nature nails it in the colour stakes.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does!
DeleteExquisite compositions...I've forgotten it's winter!
ReplyDeleteThank you Leanne :)
DeleteBeautiful - and I adore the duck crossing!

DeleteGorgeous photos. I particularly love that last one.
ReplyDeleteStunning pics! I love the detail in the marigold with the bee!

DeleteYour garden is blissful. I need a whole lot of ground cover for under the boys cubby house- any suggestions?
