I have to confess I’m not much of a gardener – I like flowers and shrubs, but I’m not the best at knowing how to look after them properly. (Though I am starting to get into gardening programmes on TV now…)
Our garden is pretty much a ‘look after itself’ garden, with shrubs and trees at the back, and bulbs and annuals at the front in a border and in pots.
My favourite ones are the tiny varieties you get in spring.
So there are the Iris Reiculata – little tiny pretty ones.
And the tete-a-tete daffodils.
Before we extended the house, we had a border with bigger daffodils and all sorts of tulips – I had the really dramatic ones that were such a dark purple, they were almost black, and the frilly red ‘parrot’ tulips. I still have my favourite ones, though – the white ones with delicate purple edges. (Actually, as a nod to one of my fellow Chocolates, these tulips happen to be called Shirley.)
But my absolute favourites are the grape hyacinths. So very, very pretty.
What are your favourite spring flowers? Are you a gardener, or are you like me and just bumble through with the stuff you like?
