garden moodboard - february 2013





I'm joining Karin again in her monthly moodboard series - a collection of seasonal flowers, and foliage from the garden. I thought this month would be a struggle, and wasn't sure it would differ much from last. Despite the fact I've been spending a fair bit of time in the garden these past weekends, I've been too busy pruning to really stop and look - unaware of the little splashes of colour that have been popping up out there. So when I took a little time today to walk slowly round, I had a lovely surprise - tiny splashes of zingy bright purples, yellows and limey greens, signaling spring is on it's way.

mahonia • violet • primula • hellebore • winter jasmine • snowdrop • I'm not sure of the others, the little white one may be scilla - perhaps you know?

  2. That's a seriously impressive collection - very colourful. We have a few buds here and there, but I'm pretty sure no flowers - but I might have to venture out and check now!

  5. Caroline, I was so pleased to find those little violets lurking in the lawn, the colour is so intense I love it, if only they were big enough to see without picking them! x
