I know spring is here when Hodsock Prior opens up for February.
In my first post on the blog I featured daffodils flowering in October at Hodsock Priory. Well here is their February display. |
This is a sunny bank and snowdrops and miniature narcissus are in perfect harmony. |
We arrived very early, way before the crowds that throng the grounds as the day progresses. The beds were immaculately displayed and the plants noticeably advanced after an exceptionally mild winter. |
Witch Hazel in full flower is a fantastic sight when all else is gloom. |
They grow everywhere in my own garden and few plants make more of an impact than cyclamen coum. |
Here is that proprietorial look that is entirely false but one you must grow accustomed to as the blog progresses. |
A gorgeous lead container. |
Somehow or other I admired the shrub and photographed only the label. |
Away from the grounds is the woodland with a canopy of white. |
Hodsock is justifiably a must for the dark days of winter - not that this was a dark day. Anything but. We were just very early. |
