Most of the tulips are open
I'm amazed at all the different colours and shapes of tulips that there are.
I love it when the sun shines through their petals
Lovely colour combinations - here's a pretty pink double tulip with blue forget-me-nots
Marmalade colours
Hops growing up the wall
Tiny alpine plants in the trough near the ladies loos
Around the corner - little flowers with strange middles
I was struck by all the colour contrasts today - lime green new leaves against blue sky
These little yellow flowers have downy hairs that shimmered in the sunlight
Bluebells in the sun
Pink tulip with an egg yolk yellow middle and amazing stamens
Tiny leafed acer with loads of flowers
The tree that looked purple the other day definitely looked pink today
On my way to the pink tree I had to pass this one - gorgeous deep red buds opening to pastel pink blossom
And on to the really pink tree. It looked as if it had been covered with cheerleaders pom poms
Back to the Korean pine cones again - some are light green with brown developing between the "petals"
Lily of the valley
Parts of the woods look as if an impressionist painter had been adding little green brush strokes everywhere
. . . punctuated by several splashes of red.
Acer with yellow veins
Pieris - not many of the stems have both the red leaves and the white bells
Yellow azaleas on their way
look at all of these buds ready to open
Australian pine cone - growing on the end of the "branch" and weighing it down
Pink rhododendrons
Witch hazel leaves
Acer leaves in the sun
Pure white blossom against deep blue sky
Beech flowers
Fat "catkins"
Narrow red acer leaves unfolding -
Bleeding hearts
. . . and back to the bright tulips
leaning towards the sun
Lone tall tulip
Pink double (triple? quadruple?) tulips
Pink singles
Thank you very much for joining me
