Beautiful maybe, but I am disappointed!! Enjoy your week Diane
DeleteToday we rivalled you for temperature (20.5C), but our flowers still lag behind. Give it a few more days. Lots of butterflies, however......Milbert’s Tortoiseshell, Eastern Comma, Mourning Cloak......all good signs of spring.
ReplyDeleteI have only seen small whites so far, all our insects seem to be keeping under cover so far this year very few aoundother than flies!!! Keep well Diane
DeleteThe full bloom of spring is lovely!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just, so long as it stays warm the plants will all do well. Another frost though is still a possiblity!! Keep well Diane

DeleteA beautiful garden Diane and no weeds! Is it just in SA that weeds grow overnight?
ReplyDeleteThe only reason there are no weeds is I have just cut the lawn and we have dug a lot of weeds out as well. There are masses of them!! Tale care Diane
DeleteThe viola is still my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty especially when in a mass. Diane
