Surprises every day...

A very Happy Easter to all my 365 friends.🐥🐥

Our newly cleared garden of three years coverings of brambles is surprising us with lots of new plants.
These Fritillaries have popped up in the last three days. There are more coming up over the whole of the bottom area plus bulbs & some flowers I don’t recognise.
We plan to plant more trees here & in the autumn we shall plant lots of bulbs.
A sort of woodland area hopefully.

Three good things:
1. Even though it’s Easter Sunday we have had left over fish & chips from the other night. Really good they were too after being in the oven to get hot & crisp again.
2. We had a walk to the bungalow to check out progress. The plastic is down ready for the first concrete fix on Tuesday.
3. Jack has been researching kitchen appliances for me. He has sent me an email with all details from Which magazine on the pros & cons of ovens, hubs, washing machines, extractor fans etc!
Oh how lovely, they are so exotic looking. Leftover fish and chips are the best! None of it ever goes to waste in our house.

I love those - used to call them snakesheads. Your garden will be lovely, I am sure.

Fabulous!!! I love these. I'd not been aware of them until our friend Louise showed us the ones in her garden in early days of 365. 😊
What a useful grandson Jack is!!

So pretty

What a treat - I don’t think it’s all that easy to establish fritillaries. They must be delighted to emerge into fresh air again!

What a lovely surprise to have all these lovely flowers appearing. Jack is such a great fellow to do all that appliance research.

Love your frittalaries.. I tried to grow them in my garden but our winters don't get cold enough I don't think and they never came up again..
You are lucky to have a 'research' person..

@dide @sarah19 yes I’m lucky & he has all the right places to look & can link where to buy too.

These are beautiful. You are so lucky to have them I believe they are difficult to establish. I have one in a pot, with 4 flowers. Bought this time last year

@judithg I think they were smothered completely....the previous owner loved her garden apparently...there are loads of primroses too.

@boxplayer We eat everything up too ....many a time they taste better too!

Such a delight to find these and other flower hidden treasures in your garden They are so alien with their chequered appearance ! - don't you think !
April 4th, 2021  
How lovely and so nice that the previous owners liked flowers too. So good for Jack to do all that research, it’s really time consuming! Happy Easter!

@beryl Yes I do Beryl, really space like looking.....

@louannwarren it is good but when we cleared the garden I’m sure there were plants we chopped down that we shouldn’t have....

You are going to have so much fun designing your new garden area. Love the sound of woodland. And how awesome that Jack is doing appliance research for you. Good to have some help and input!
