Snow one week, 25°c the next! The lovely warm weather has brought on the fruit tree blossom and it’s looking fabulous. You’ll see by the pictures below I’ve been on a blossom binge in the garden, there is one little surprise at the end! Most trees now have their leaves all a different shade of fresh vibrant green which is to be savoured, next month it will sadly fade to a darker uniform ‘tree green’.
My favourite, Bramley Apple blossom, I love the delicate pink
A bit more Bramely Apple blossom
Conference Pear blossom, it’s like confetti when it falls
Crabapple blossom, the pink blossom is offset perfectly against its burgundy leaves
Japanese Quince blossom, the petals look like wax
Okay, it’s not blossom! But Euphorbias do give an amazing zing at this time of year.
A grass snake, basking between the artichokes and peas. They are becoming less common so we feel lucky to have one visit on a sunny day.
