OK, slight deviation from Calgary. This is an internet shot, but very accurate of what the woods around my childhood home look like about now. Perhaps someone will pipe up from the UK and post some pictures of bluebells. This shot is my screensaver - it keeps me sane through the long cold winters.
That passion flower is beautiful. I had one similar in my bathroom a few years ago. I truly love where I live until I start seeing things I can''t grow here! My aunt lives in France and has just moved into a cottage with Wisteria around the door - swoon!
Magnolia bloom. We have approximately 6 or 7 of these miniature trees which was planted by the previous owners. They did not take care of them and the first couple of years the poor trees didn''t have any blooms. But this year they are loaded and oh my, do they have a wonderful scent...floral/citrus smell...
