    My tulips are starting to bloom and looking good, especially the purple ones.

    I just received a big box of sedum cuttings :)  Nice stamps on the box too. According to the RM website they're 'artwork by acclaimed wildlife illustrator Richard Lewington'.



    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    It's slightly warmer today.

    Those stamps are gorgeous.

    Those stamps are beautiful @wild edges, I love an elephant hawk moth :) 

    I found two beautiful dwarf gerberas (I guess they're dwarf, or are they just young? IDK) in Lidl today, one is a beautiful salmon blush pink and the other is a hot neon pink. My favourite flower. I'll pot them on and treat them as a house plant for now I think until the weather gets a lot warmer - I had two last year that I planted out but they didn't survive much past September.

    Managed a day out at Hardwick hall in Nottinghamshire, lovely gardens and lots of scenic woodland walks.
