Don’t wish your life away, my wonderful nanna would say if she could hear me this morning, counting how many days we have until the rule of six returns here in England. And she’d be right – even during these weird, quiet times in which most of us can’t meet family or friends in person, there is plenty to be thankful for.
I wander around the garden most days recently, watching for little changes to the plants as they unfurl and grow on sunnier days. I’m probably (definitely) messing up the damp grass…
Last weekend was amazing weather and, while this week has been grey and cold, there is hope for springtime all around if you look closely.
it has bloomed more since my last post; and there are lots of little buds at the top of the plant,
so I’m looking forward to seeing more flowers soon. I almost fell over trying to smell it the other day 😂
I’ll definitely plant more next year, maybe along with some ‘Katharine Hodgkin’ too!
Seeing them almost ready to go is exciting 🌞
It’s wonderful to see little buds appearing on them now. Speaking of buds…
Acer palmatum ‘Orange Dream’ is looking hopeful 
Cercis chinesis ‘Avondale’ is small but braving the winter air 
There are bright green buds on the Viburnum opulus ‘Roseum’ 
…and Prunus ‘Little Pink Perfection’ has buds all over it
What’s changing in your garden? Feel free to comment below or tag @camflowerjourn on Instagram so I can see 🌱🌷
Wishing you a restful weekend,
