The Painted lady Springs forth!
The Painted lady Springs forth!
Friday, 1 June 2018
Having ‘enjoyed’ one of the coldest winters on record we leapt, Hare-like*, into Spring enthusiastically......
Spring was an incredible affair, with bulbs, plants and trees all vying together, jostling as they exploded into a frenzy of flowering, to take up their chosen positions in the garden.
Even the unassumingly sedate ferns fought their way through to reclaim their spaces, with a speed to reassure us that Summer really was going to happen this year - and before Autumn has the chance to creep in early!
Thus the Painted Lady fern, bursts upon the scene, spectacular as ever in her finery, to take up her position of centre stage in the fernery......nodding to the awaiting ferns in recognition of her assumed status.
* The Hares are indeed jumping and leaping onto their pages, stewing the poor Author’s brain, as they form the notes and diagrams that will soon emerge as The Hares Series!
