ReplyDeleteI doubt if it will last; we have been known to have frosts as late as May!!! Great though while it does :-) Cheers Diane
DeleteAlong with the flowers come the little creatures. You got some very good pictures of them.
ReplyDeleteIt is the first time this year I have seen any insects out and it was a pleasure to see a few about today. Thanks for the comment, Diane
DeleteBeauty surrounds you, Diane. I love these! Our viburnum don't have those lovely flowers!
ReplyDeleteI hope your weekend has been good to you, and Nigel.
xoxo
Depends which viburnum you have, there are several different varieties. We have two of this particular one and both are in flower at present. We had a local village dinner last night so we have both been pretty tired today!!! Keep well Diane xx
DeleteI envy the colour, Diane. We are having more snow!
ReplyDeleteI hope we do not get any more snow but we are still likely to get frosts, possibly for another couple of months yet. I have know frosts in May which meant starting the veg garden again! Have a great week Diane
DeleteThose yellow flowers have added cheer to my day.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it, yellow always seems a happy colour. Hope you have a good week Diane
DeleteBeautiful flowers and bugs. I especially like the irridescent rosemary beetles. I don't get them on my rosemary but on my rose buds. Sunshine really makes a garden look alive. Take care. Kim x
ReplyDeleteThey are such pretty beetles and it is sad that they are a pest. I have never seen them on my rose, but the also attach the lavender and the sage. Keep well Diane
DeleteSpring does seem to have sprung. Nice collection of flowers and insects.

DeleteThe little critters are enjoying your beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteI just wish I could identify all the insects!!! Have a happy week Diane
DeleteOh now it's looking like spring Diane, beautiful images. J'adore the camellia 💮
ReplyDeleteOne really nice day and now we are back to rain again!!! Hope all is well Diane
DeleteDaffodils means it's spring! You have so many flowers already. Love that shot of the Camellia.
ReplyDeleteSpring will be here soon I hope but we will get more cold weather first!! Cheers Diane
