With winter being prolonged, spring has been slow on the arrival. However, the past few weeks in the NW of England (and for most of the UK) the weather has been fair, which has helped the residents in the yarden.
Honey bee on Salvia
The long winter of Beasts from the East and Pests from the West meant I lost my beautiful salvia to the frosts. The rosemary, marjoram and aquilegia also succumbing.
Though there were some fatalities, with spring well and truly upon us, the resident plants have been thriving! Below is a selection of the flowers that are blooming at this moment in the yarden. Enjoy!

Lovely pictures Christine. My garden is a bit bare ( mainly because I never really do much with it, it is also a yarden) but I do have some lupins coming into flower and a Hosta that looks healthy. I forgot to plant any wild flower seeds, though I suppose I still could? X
