It's A Start

This is the first of the bulbs to flower.  The last two sunny days tempted me into the garden centre.  I bought Iceland Poppies, Stocks and Parsley.  

An English Country Garden       Jimmie Rogers

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you'll surely pardon
Daffodils, heart's ease and flox
Meadowsweet and lady smocks
Gentain, lupin and tall hollihocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots
In an English country garden
