A tightly furled deep purple crocus flower, decorated with raindrops which are having a lensing effect, picking up light and giving emphasis to the texture of the petals beneath.

A collage of close-up photographs showing early spring budburst on trees and shrubs. Swollen pink and red buds, fresh green leaf shoots, unfurling scales, and pale catkins are shown against soft blurred backgrounds, illustrating sap rising and plants coming back into life in March.

March’s full moon, rising on 3rd March, is called the Worm Moon or the Sap Moon. As the soil warms, earthworms emerge, and plants stir as sap rises and buds begin to unfurl. This year’s March Moon is especially notable as it coincides with a total lunar eclipse in the night sky.

#March1st is #MeteorologicalSpring and it shows here in #MyGarden 😍

Six pics of what is going on in and around my various bits of garden as of Saturday 28th February, when the sun came out for a little while and it didn't actually rain yet, a purple crocus with orange stamen seen from above, a wide shot of white crocuses in a lawn (with more in the background), a green stinking hellebore, an 'orange monarch' crocus (named for the butterfly, not him), a bowl of white snowdrops and a furled white and purple crocus soaked in dew.

So, where HAVE all the flowers gone? 🌱

Fragile beginning. Ulmus americana, American Elm.

A collage of six photographs of flowers and wildlife, comprising... a daffodil with slightly swept back yellow petals and a long orange trumpet like centre; a dark red Hellebore flower with big yellow stamens at the centre; a clump of goblet-like purple Crocuses with yellow stamens; a clump of several rounded golden yellow Narcissus flowers with short orange trumpet-like centres; veined new fresh green leaves with a round red ladybird with black spots sheltering underneath - the black underside of another ladybird can be seen on the other side of a leaf; a tall clump of star-like pink Hyacinth flowers edged with white.

In today's 'one more sleep until meteorological spring' #SixOnSaturday... 'Jetfire,' a ‘Reanna’s Ruby’ Hellebore, Crocuses, a fragrant Narcissus, ladybirds & a pink Hyacinth 🌱 onemanandhisgardentrowel.wordpress.com/2026/02/28/s...

A bright patch of lawn scattered with small white daisies, each with golden-yellow centres, rising on slender stems among fresh green grass. The flowers are open and sunlit, some facing the camera, others tilted at different angles, creating a natural, abundant spring carpet effect.

There’s an old saying that spring hasn’t truly arrived until you can cover seven daisies — nine, or twelve in some beliefs — with your foot’s shadow in a single patch. In Germany they are called “Tausendschön”, meaning “thousand times beautiful” — and what could be more fitting?

Six on Saturday – Inspired I’ve been lacking inspiration. I have been bored with the weather, the enforced incarceration, myself. However, this week I found some va va voom again or at least some voom. And it is all th…

A soft focus honeybee on a purple crocus 24th Feb 2025. I havent spotted any in my garden so far this year but I have found a few crocus flowers busted open in that distinctive way which suggests they are out and about 🌱🐝

Spring is in the air !
#crocus 😎🐝🌱
18°C today, blue skies, sunshine, sunglasses, birdsong and the buzzing of bees. A lovely setting, isn't it!

Nine-square collage of spring flowers including yellow daffodil, white hellebore with purple freckled markings, yellow Doronicum, pink blossom, primulas, purple fritillary, violet anemone, blue Siberian squill, and pink hyacinth, each shown in close botanical detail against soft green backgrounds.

Philocaly means the love of beauty or the appreciation of aesthetic, artistic, and natural beauty. The word comes from Ancient Greek φιλόκᾰλος, derived from φίλος (loving) and κᾰλος (beauty). A person who possesses these qualities is known as a philocalist.

Edgeworthia is a gorgeous winter specimen for color, scent and structure in my garden 😍💛
