What's looking good in February 2010 ....

My Almond Blossom ...



It's actually only in half bloom at the moment but rain is due back in so thought I;d get a photo with the blue sky.

 

Nice pic with the sun, shade and blue sky, Sis, well caught! :gnthb:

This is all I can offer, taken in our garden this morning -



:D:D

 

Thats lovely Vicky - especially against that beautiful blue sky. I though you were going to top that Anne, with pink bananas from Florida - I am glad to see that at least someone is normal. :D

 

Are you still living in the same place, Shiney, to have an iris blooming already? :thmb:

 

Look at that tree! Beautiful thing. I think my irises were out this time last year-those ones that Vicki id-ed for me. They aren't here yet for me so you are very lucky Shiney.

My camera is kaput so I can't take any pics of my snowdrops-I did what Christopher Lloyd told me to do ( in his books) and it has paid off.

I love these threads, thanks Victoria.

 

What a contrast we have, Sis. :hehe:

And we wouldn't expect less from Shineyland, would we? I love mini Iris, the wild ones should be blooming here soon as the standard white wld ones are already. Claire, if I remember right, you have the beautiful Iris histrioides 'Katharine Hodgkins'.

I captured a close-up of the blooms today before the sun disappeared. The post under the tree is 1.6 meters tall, which gives an idea of the height of the tree so difficult to get a real close-up. It smells like honey in the warm sun and is covered in hundreds of bees.

 

Lovely pic with the blue sky peeking through, Sis. :thumb:

 

Super pics here. Shiney land sounds fun

 

It's a joy to see the first snowdrops,they kind of kick start the gardening year,they have realy been up against it but here they are....
