When the Wait is Over

I have been waiting for a few things.  Some things for years, some for months, some for weeks.  In September 2016 I planted some snakes head fritillary bulbs or chequered daffodils as they are also known.  You can read about them on the RHS website here. I have been patiently waiting for months for the bulbs to break the surface of the Earth's crust and have eventually been rewarded for my efforts.

 

I was thrilled to see them in flower today as I was unsure if they would even thrive.  I shall now be eagerly waiting spring each year to watch them come into flower and hopefully spread.



In my year of 'consolidation' (which I blogged about as my word for 2017) many loose ends are being tied up.   'Seeds' planted over the past 18 years have begun to come to fruition and after 18 years as a stay at home Mum, I finally have paid employment again.  The good news is as it is part-time I will still have time to blog and pursue my other interests too.

    Wonderful news Simone - I am so pleased for you - I know you have been looking for something suitable for a while - I hope you enjoy being at work it can be very rewarding - are you going to keep us in suspense though?
    And the Fritillaries - there used to be wild ones in Derbyshire where we had our caravan - really pretty. x

    Congratulations on your new job, Simone! I am very pleased for you, and that it is part time so you can still do other things you enjoy too. The fritillaries are such amazing flowers...they look as if they have been painted on with tiny brushes!
