A Neglected Corner
The end of my garden has been untended to for quite some time. Wind blown pots are scattered and weeds ramble up broken fences. Today I had cause to venture to the bottom of the garden to see how my perlagoniums had over wintered in the greenhouse. They didn't look good so I have cut them back hard. Just outside the greenhouse is an old table with an array of broken china and abandoned pots. I was surprised to see that despite neglect, pink hyacinths were popping up out of a crate and tiny blue muscari (behind the brown plastic pot in centre of photograph) were determined to see another spring. I feel sad that I had cast them aside with no hope after they had finished flowering previously but happy they decided to grow despite less than perfect conditions.

Hello Simone,
ReplyDeleteThat is what I love about bulbs, they surprise us.
Have a lovely weekend.
Bev.
That looks lovely with the broken post and bits and pieces - I prefer to see that than a regimented garden. X
ReplyDeleteIsn't Nature wonderful being able to make such a pretty vignette of such unlikely ingredients! I often think that plants are so brave and accepting of what life throws at them and we might perhaps take a lesson from their tenacity - well I could anyway! Have a goodweekend.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers were determined weren't they? I love finding little plants surviving where you least expect them:)
ReplyDeleteA lesson from mother nature herself???? healing is always possible.
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't green a lovely medicine?
