Allium Purple Sensation, Allium siculum, apple blossom, euphorbia griffithii Dixter, Geum "Mrs Bradshaw", Narcissus Thalia, Tuesday View
Today the view is still about the apple blossom but as I took this picture, petals were beginning to fall. 
The forecast for later today is a cold wind from the North and possibly even showers of hailstones or sleet. I suspect by tomorrow the blossom will be on the ground, gone for another year. Blossom is so fleeting, perhaps that is why we all love it so.
As one plant ends its show of petals, others are getting ready to bloom. 
Geum ‘Mrs Bradshaw’
Allium siculum
Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ behind new foliage of Rose Gertrude Jekyll.
Some plants are still blooming such as Narcissus Thalia, showing white in the background and Camellia.
Spring is when Euphorbias are at their best including this Euphorbia griffithii Dixter. I love the strength of colour. This was planted less 18 months ago and it is bulking up nicely.
Cathy is host of the ‘Tuesday View’ why not join us? Share your view with us linking back to Cathy. It is a really useful record of what is happening in the garden week by week.
Finally the view
The Ash tree on the right has yet to open. I should take a look at the Oak to see where they are. You know what that might mean?
“Ash before oak we’ll get a soak” but, “Oak before Ash we’ll get a splash.” There you have it, fully scientific based predictions. Right I am off to read my horoscopes next. 😉
Fab photos.
Your view is filling in with green very quickly Doris, the apple blossom is gorgeous, I hope it lasts a few more days for you and that you don’t loose the crop if there is a frost.
That blossom is soooo pretty! Hope it doesn’t get spoilt, but I do love seeing blossom on the ground beneath trees too. The view looks lovely and green and fresh. 🙂
Wow, what an incredible photo of the emerging geum flower, absolutely stunning Dorris. Fabulous to see the transformation of pasture into the beautiful garden you are creating. Your hard work is paying off.
Neat edges too thanks to your help.😉
So much joy to come and I love falling blossom!

Well, your garden has come on beautifully! No sweeter time than April and May although the weather can be quite moody. Felix Dennis’ poem Blackthorn winter always comes to my mind at this time of year. 🙂
I don’t know the poem Annette I will look it up. Thanks
That is an amazing picture of the geum, Dorris – I wouldn’t have recognised what it was if you hadn’t said!
Ha glad to be of assistance
