Whats Looking Good in March 2023

So lovely @Upsydaisy I agree the homemade ones are the most meaningful. Memories to treasure for sure.

 

I treasure everything that relates to our 3...my hubs thinks I'm a bit.... . The other day he knocked over a little pot I have in our kitchen ( one of my secret squirrelling ones) and our brood 's baby teeth rolled out!!!

Have a great Mothers Day @Sienna's Blossom , I know it will tug at your heartstrings today. xx

Went to see parents today as it's Mothering Sunday and took a few photos of some of their flowers.

 

No photos unfortunately but yesterday (18/3) saw near my garden pond, both a Large Tortoiseshell and a Brimstone butterfly in flight, early I think, just hope they survive

 

Must have been lovely to see them @infradig. Yes, hope they survive. Not seen any yet this year but I did have a tortoiseshell overwintering in a bedroom last winter and I kept it going with sugared water. Was so pleased when the warm weather came and it could fly away.

 

We saw a Tortoiseshell flitting amongst the blooms in our open coldframe yesterday too.

 

First of the hyacinths

 

Random stuff.
