When I'm not on my bike, you'll find me in my organic-ish garden in #Cumbria. Favourite plants? Wisteria, hellebores, peonies, philadelphus...

And now there are ten! It may not be the swathe of wild daffodils that Wordsworth enjoyed but they still make me very happy 💛 #narcissus-pseudonarcissus #wild-daffodil #native-daffodil

Thanks Laura. You mean my Moon Gate - well a Cumbrian version. It leads from the cultivated bit of the garden to this wilder bit. I’m glad you like it. @columbiariver

A brilliant dry stone waller made it for us about 15 years ago. It replaces something similar that just wasn’t very well done and fell down. On the left it drops down to a curved retaining wall at the back of my bed made of builders’ rubble. I love it. Will try and take some more photos of it for you... 😍 @columbiariver

5 April 2018 • The first of the native #daffodil to flower. We’ve even managed not to stand on them this year!

I love it too but it’s so subtle it’s been too subtle to avoid our feet 🙄 @ublaszko

😂😂😂 I don't have many daffs as I find them too blowsy but these ones look like they're dancing 😄 I have some highly fragrant double daffs and they look like scrambled egg 😂😂😂

They're very fragrant so they're forgiven the eggy look 😂

I think this looks like a stray one I have in my garden. Thank you 😊 🙏🏼

You’re welcome. I planted a few years ago hoping they would naturalise in the grass but they’ve had a bit of a tough upbringing 😂 @richard.spicer.7906

My one and only...it's not their fault, they keep being stood on when they are tiny. One day they will naturalise...

Oh! Who keeps standing on them? It is a rather lovely 'one' though 👌🏼🌼

Well I can't really blame him. I stupidly planted them in the grass that leads directly to our veg patch. This year they didn't just get stood on but wheelbarrowed over too but as he's doing some new paths I can't really complain 😉 @rachelbrooks

Oh no! Somehow that seems worse as they aren't native or wild. I hope they survive 🤞🏻👍🏻😊 @columbiariver
