Daffodils….

04/23/2013 //  by Michelle//  5 Comments

As a rule, my garden is firmly penned in to its own page on this blog and not allowed to escape. But, so spectacular is this year’s display of Ice Follies that it demanded to be let out so that it could be seen by the wider world!

The Ice Follies came as the gift and inspiration of Prudence Neusink, she of Body Talk fame. She  arrived at the front door last October, preceded by a large sack of bulbs, and directed a day of heavy digging, overseen by Tawny Pipit, our wire foal who is now enjoying the grass at their feet. If you want to see how it is done, go the to garden page and spool down to 20th October last year. Meanwhile…

This is them seen early morning from my bedroom window…

And here they are at lunchtime in the full sun – on display to Prudence as it happens…

And here are those that got knocked over by the cats and rescued…

    Will the daffodils be under snow this time next week?
    Hopefully not!
