GBBD - April Flower Shower

In honour of my first Garden Bloggers Blooms Day, I wanted to give you something a bit special, so I've created a new Slideshow for my sidebar entitled 'April Flower Shower'. It shows you flowers from both my garden and my allotment, though I have to confess the cherry blossom's from round the corner, the pink magnolia is the view I have of my neighbour's new tree from our garden and the potty cats had me in fits of giggles at my local garden centre last week. I couldn't resist them and I hope you enjoy the show!

Whilst I was selecting the photographs, I noticed that my pear blossom had a rather nice visitor I hadn't seen when taking the shot. I love it when that kind of thing happens - so I thought I would show it you again to illustrate my GBBD post.

  1. Wonderful slide show, very enjoyable to just sit back and view, sipping the coffee. St. Patrick daff is one I highly admire. Why doesn't the US have allotments? Such a good idea.

  5. Thanks for your comments on Blotanical it is appreciated.
    One question for you as you are into your vegetables, do you plant shallots on the surface or do you sink them a little bit?

    Cheers Mark

  7. I enjoyed your slide show. I like your M. stellata better than your neighbor's pink Magnolia (don't tell them).
