This year has been so strange as everything in the garden is super late due to the prolonged cold spell. Well it feels like it is super late anyway. This is the circular bed in my front drive and last Summer, in the month of June,  it looked like this…..

Then last September, after all of the annuals had died back I cleared and prepped it for some bulb planting…..

…it looked like this after I had finished it and you can read about the whole process here.

Shortly after that I planted some Tulip bulbs in this bed and you can read all about that right here!

And right now, after a long cold, wet Winter it looks like this….

I have two varieties of Tulip  in this bed and one blooms a little before the other and is taller. As you can see the tall yellow ones are out and proud. The shorter pink ones are on their way and I’ll take lots of pics as and when they show their faces.

I do love blossom. I think I love it because it’s so fleeting and so reminiscent of Spring. It stays there for a little while, allowing us to bask in it’s pinkness and then it gets blown away on to the ground to make way for leaves and perhaps fruit too.

Look at this little chap. That’s what I like to see, a nice plump Bumble Bee having fun.
