These appeared suddenly in my garden and I’m not sure what they are, but I like them.

This is the last of the daffodil, they are gone now. 🙁

This crocus looks almost like it was taken in infra red, it also gives a good view of the stamen inside.

Another variety of daffodil I have in my garden. This one is a singular variety and often stands alone. I took it in black and white so you could see the stamen better.

Another picture of my orange favourite. They are fading off a bit now, but have given pleasure for a few weeks.

These tete-a-tete daffodils are really pretty. They are small, but come in a clump and fill a space nicely. They are not your big waving variety which I think can be offputting at times as the wind will knock them over. These dwarf variety are close to the ground and so stand up well to our variable weather.

Here is the other picture of my helibor that I promised.

This is one of my alpines that flowers regularly. It is only about the size of a childs fingernail, but each flower is really intricate and pretty. I bought these many years ago and they have survived a few scrapes with hobnail boots scuffing them up. Something tells me they like where I have placed them, so I have left well alone.
