The beginning

Our rhododendron is about to burst forth into its full glory. We find it hard to believe that it puts on such a show year after year. It is remarkable because it has been in a tub for twenty-seven years! We make sure it is kept thoroughly watered. I expect I will blip it again when it is fully out.
I have been dead heading bluebells this afternoon. They are over so quickly and the garden looks very different now they have gone.
