Spring flowers

Marsh Marigold and Bluebells in Plas Withy

The 'Cristin' apple

Lady's Smock

We’ve not spent much time on the island in springtime before, so it’s great watching the latish spring unfold here. The gorses have been blooming all the time; no wonder they say “lovers can kiss when gorse is in flower”. Every couple of days we see another plant come in to flower, both in the gardens and in the fields. The yellows of Celandine, Marsh Marigold and Dandelion; the blues of Viola, Squill and Bluebell; and the pinks of the fruit trees, Lady’s Smock & Thrift.
