Saturday 2 March 2013 – Dunham Winter Garden (5)

Nallo Lady reporting from the garden again.  What a contrast to last Saturday and what a difference some sunshine makes in bringing out the colours!

The hellebores have multiplied again, with buds ready to burst open:

The sun makes the white birch bark and snowdrops stand out against the brown soil:

Hellebores come in several varieties:

These snowdrops greet visitors on the entrance to the Winter Garden…

The robin was keeping his eyes on me, but pickings amongst the leaf litter must have been good because he didn’t fly off.

These small Pulmonaria (Lungwort – so named because the white-spotted leaves resemble lung tissue) seem rather lost and have suffered from spatters from the nearby sandy path:

After indulging myself amongst the flowers (and I wasn’t the only photographer!) it was back home for a rather late lunch! Finally it seems like Spring has arrived.
