April, daffodils, Easter Monday, frog, in a vase on Monday, Muscari, Narcissus 'Tete a Tete', Narcissus ‘Rip-van-winkle’, Narcissus Lemon sailboat, pulmonaria, Spring flowers
It is Easter, it is Monday and therefore I was on the look out for flowers and eggs to share with you and readers of Cathy’s blog.
No eggs, this cockerel has sat looking out of the window for about twenty years.
Now he is on my desk with these tiny flowers from the garden. Muscari, pulmonaria and various daffodils.
The two small daffodils are Tête-à-tête on the left and lemon sailboat on the right. Rip van Winkle is the scruff at the back and the large Daffodil is just a regular garden daff. 
Held in place on a florists frog, no amphibians were hurt in the process.
I hope you have had an enjoyable long weekend and I am sure you will join me in chanting “rain, rain, go away” D.

Absolutely delightful….I love the ceramic rooster as a prop.
Thanks Donna
I love the assortment of daffodils! I keep a small rooster on my kitchen window sill as well 🙂
Thank you. A rooster is a good thing to have on a window sill 🐓
I love your rooster and your Easter posy and such a relief that there was no cruelty to frogs involved. In fact frogs and ducks are being well catered for at the moment, unlike poor gardeners with leaky boots and streaming colds. As you say- ‘rain, rain, go away’
Ha thank you Chloris. I do hope your cold disappears soon.
The muscari is really nice. So are the daffodils. I do not know the cultivar, but they seem to be popular this year.
Do you mean the Narcissus?
Yes, particularly ‘Tete-a-Tete’. I have seen it only in catalogues, but am not familiar with it. Nor am I familiar with ‘Rip VanWinkle’
They are good for pots and window boxes as they are shorter about 15cm. I like them as my garden is exposed and gets battered by the weather. The shorter ones suffer less in high wind.
I have never tried them because I stick with the more traditional types. Some of the modern varieties do not do as well in our mild climate.
Send the rain this way instead, Dorris! Southern California REALLY needs it. (We don’t want to be the next Cape Town facing a Day Zero.)
Your little vase is precious. I hope you enjoyed Easter and that your weather will soon improve (when you send that rain packing to SoCal).
How brilliant would it be if we could just do that. We are flooded and you have a drought. Crazy. It must be such a worry. Hoping you get some rain soon Kris and lots of it too.
Lemon sailboat is new to me, and very pretty. Love the cockerel too! Hope you get some sunshine this week Dorris. 🙂
Thanks Cathy. Not looking hopeful for sunshine
Delightful spring display.
Thanks Christina
Tete a tete is my favorite little spring bulb, love seeing them as I am too far south to grow anything like that. You have created a lovely early spring posy.
Thank you. Your alternative plants are exotic to my eye and none the less beautiful
Alternative is a great description! I am letting the Amaryllis go to seed in the garden in hopes of more. From an earlier vase.
Love the blue and yellow combination. Nice contrast, plus you can say it’s a salute to Sweden.
Salute to Sweden. Funny that hadn’t even crossed my mind
