Wandering around the garden

I love Peony's - and this is a named variety, slightly scented gorgeous blossom - and I was thrilled to find that it had flowered today, the first peony of the year. I looked again this evening and found that the petals had closed against the dark but should open again tomorrow.

The crab apple blossom is also stunning right now.
Here is the crab apple tree fully clothed in the most marvellous blooms

The giant allium blooms are fit to bust!

The bluebells in the garden are at their best

It's been snowing cherry blossom on the lawn

The clematis has burst into bloom all over the wall

The purple lilac is breathtaking

The solomon's seal with it's arching branches always looks so elegant
