Beautiful morning all

What a lovely rich colour 😚morning

Morning Rich lovely deep rich colour 👌 Sun not playing out here but at least it's not raining 😊

That's is almost breathtaking

Amazing Richard so different . I'm in Spain at the moment and there are some gorgeous plants where we are staying. Will try to take pics at some point. 👍👍

Good morning Rich lovely colour 🙏🏼🙏🏼the sun come out

Lovely though! Morning 😊

Amazing colour @richard.spicer.7906

Unusual and lovely.

The Dutch Iris bulbs are speeding their way along! It's funny how these bulbs are now already this big, yet hardly any of my daffs are poking through the soil 🤔 #iris #iris-hollandica #irishollandicaredember #dutchiris

Patience Richard. You can't hurry nature 😂😂😂

None of my daffs have put in an appearance yet either, yet I have bluebells beginning to push their way up! 🤔

A few people are doing the bird watching this weekend, whereas I might be mostly going daff and primrose hunting 😂 @fuschia @mojo

I usually do the bird watch but not this year. My 50p tête-à-tête has a bloom yay!!

👏🏼👏🏼 Yay! @fuschia

I'm hoping to do birdwatch tomorrow as today is just passing by too quickly! Happy hunting Rich who knows what else you might find in your garden 😊👀. Lovely you have a bloom Pearl, 👏 I'm still waiting 🙃 @richard.spicer.7906 @fuschia

Well I found some daffs finally! The garden is literally buzzing right now. And I did find another primula under a hedge - not sure if it's the lost pink one, but time will tell. Have fun with the birdwatch tomorrow Mo - I just downloaded the pack from the website so may have a go too 🐦🔎✏️📋 @mojo

I managed to do birdwatch late this afternoon Rich but still amazing how many birds do come into the garden in the space of an hour. Did you manage to do yours? @richard.spicer.7906

I did Mo! Glad to hear you did too. Although I didn't see as many as I'd hoped. Next doors cat was pottering with so I think he was frightening them off. Oh well - got a couple of nice shots, will post later 😊 @mojo

It was getting quite dark when I finished mine Rich, noted a jay and a nuthatch but not quick enough to take photo. Look forward to seeing your though 😊 @richard.spicer.7906

Dutch Iris - this one has a smoky rich purple colour with copper coloured falls. Apparently quite a good one to use in cut flower arrangements 🤓 #iris #iris-hollandica #irishollandicaredember #dutchiris

Sounds lovely @richard.spicer.7906

Really like the sound of this they are such lovely flowers

@richard.spicer.7906 Must add to my collection as no Iris at all and I love them!
