Friday Smile - sunshine and colour!

 
Today I will let the colours of the last few sunny days bring a bit of colour to my blog for our Friday smile.....



A few double daffs from Sainsburys - so bright and cheery.

Vibrant orangey red Chaenomeles
                    
 Bright orangey yellow Berberis


Bridal veil - some sort of Spirea I think.

  My Scimia has a mass of creamy white frothy blossom that has a lovely perfume when the sunshines on it.

A delicate creamy pink tulip


My own hen pheasant still keeping her eggs cosy beside my Mahonia bush.

If you want more Friday smiles then pop over to Annie's blog - A Stitch In Time.
I think she has been out in the Spring sunshine too!!

A splash of colour!


What an amazing weekend of glorious weather!
I just had to share the splash of colour in my garden at the moment.
Above is the Clivia with the view of Roundton behind it.





Next are the anemones - another gorgeous colour that makes the heart sing!









This is what Mum used to call Japonica but really it is Chaenomeles.










And lastly the vivid yellow Mahonia.



I love this time of year - don't you?!!

Oh and by the way - I saw a pair of swallows on a wire as I was ambling around the car boot sale today!
