| Narcissus 'Navarre' last Sunday: the only daffodil in flower in the garden. Everything has been delayed by the long spell of cool weather. |
 |
| 'Navarre' frozen solid in bitter wind on Monday, with a dusting of snow. |
 |
| Tuesday was bright and slightly less cold. Salix alba 'Cardinalis' in the Yorkshire Arboretum. |
 |
| Fresh snow on Wednesday morning. |
 |
| Galanthus 'Primrose Warburg' in the snow on Wednesday. |
 |
| Rhododendron barbatum flowering in the shelter of Ray Wood, Thursday. On Tuesday it had ice in the corollas, but no damage was done. |
 |
| 'Primrose Warburg' back to vertical today, but still (mid-March!) in perfect condition. |
 |
| New shoots and buds of Paeonia mairei (today) - perhaps their most attractive stage, full of promise. |

Being from Australia the sight of snow in the garden seems a little alien but beautiful at the same time. Those poor dafs look like they took a beating.
ReplyDeleteWell, I could live without the winter cold for a change. Here in Europe it seems like we haven't had some decent sunlight in six months.
