Beautiful, spring is definitely here. Have a great weekend.

Thank you, I love this one and buds are appearing on others so I hope I'm getting there in keeping them going.

Photo shows light yellow Orchid flowers with an orange centre.

The joy of a favourite Orchid flowering once again. Used to have terrible trouble getting them to bloom more than once but have now found a window that seems to give the right light, so all the dormant ones live on a storage box there now until buds appear.

Two tiny green leaves next to a grey dead looking plant.

Never give up...tiny signs of life appearing from an African Violet plant I thought had gone weeks ago but kept looking after just in case...

Thank you, happy Friday!

How beautiful to be out under a blue sky today...finally... this Blackthorn was full of Bees and also had two Butterfly visitors spring is arriving...

Beautiful, love Snowdrops. Have a great week.

Hi there, happy Friday, let's all do a sun dance this weekend!

Amazing views, happy new week.

Photos show trees and hedgerows against grey skies, teasels with light behind them, Catkins hanging, and a shaft of light hitting green grass

The weather is endlessly grey at the moment, but you can still find so much beauty if you get out for a walk.

3 photos. One shows a clump of purple Crocus buds. One shows a purple Iris, with deeper purple and white marking on it. One shows a little purple Violet among leaves.

Winter purples...💜

Lovely, thank you, have a great weekend. Hopefully some of it will be dry!

Morning, happy Monday 👋

They are great plants.

Photos show two patches of Cyclamen Coum, small bright pink to light pink flowers on a reddish stem, the leaves have a range of patterns.

One of my fave plants Cyclamen Coum. Patches of pink or white bloom in January just when you need a splash of colour and cheering up. Left alone they will spread, no work needed. It's hardy & shade tolerant. Most importantly it's an early source of nectar for pollinators. Pics from today.

Photo shows a patch of Snowdrops in bloom, there are two yellow crocuses beneath them in bud.

Snowdrops and Crocuses brightening up the garden.

Happy Friday 👋

Winter feels very loooong, but soon the garden will be buzzing again.

Thank you 🙂

Photo shows a sketch of a Blue Tit bird on a list of bird sightings. Starling 9, Pigeon 8, Sparrow 5 Magpie 4, Parakeet 4, Chaffinch 3, Collared Dove 2, Dunnock 2, Wood Pigeon 2, Blue Tit 1, Great Tit 1, Robin 1

That's my @rspb.bsky.social Big Garden Birdwatch completed for another year. A brilliant UK citizen science project surveying birds in your garden for 1 hour each year. Most of my regulars turned up, a few missing. Over 4 million birds already counted this weekend,time to log in and add my results.

Love it.

I went with the giant pacific octopus for this week's #完全変態.

Happy Friday.

Afternoon 👋 have a great week.

Hi, happy Friday. Sunshine here which is lovely.

Lovely thank you 🙂

Photos show a misty hedgerow, a bridge by the sea with winter light silhouetting those walking down it, boats by the shore and sunlight bursting through a tree silhouetted by the light.

Winter light, a trip to the coast.

Amazing!

Photos show a close up of a bag of straw, micro beasts are crawling in and on it. A large patch of fungi that looks taupe in colour and each part folds in wrinkles, it's almost velvety in appearance. A pale grey tree trunk that is wide and has marks resembling those on an elephant leg. And red buds waiting to bloom.

Even in Jan there's stuff to keep my interest in the garden. Tons of micro beasts already living in the barley straw bags I've floated in the ponds, fabulous fungi (if anyone can help me with id that'd be great), the Magnolia trunk that always reminds me of an elephant leg and loads of flower buds.
