Pink, yellow, white, green. And turtle.

Yesterday it rained. As it does. But for a short while, while it still rained, the sun came out. I did a quick tour of the garden; spring colours are here!

Daffodil in a dark corner

The plum tree is blooming.

Bleeding hearts, Dicentra spectabilis., sprouting in a plastic pot. So pink!

Another daffodil. weighted down with raindrops.

My old turtle, still guarding the flower bed.

He's been in my gardens for many years. He was a pot, but the bottom crumbled, and now he protects a bouquet of bluebells, growing through his base.

More plum blossoms, growing directly out of the trunk.

Ayer llovió, como suele pasar en esta temporada. Pero por un rato salió el sol sin que dejara de llover. Aproveché para dar una vuelta a mi jardincito, viendo los colores de la primavera.

Hay narcisos, flor de ciruela, corazón sangrante, o sea Dicentra spectabilis, echando sus primeros brotes de un color de rosa mexicana, y por fin, mi vieja tortuga, que hace años era una maceta, pero que ha perdido su fondo, y ahora protege un bouquet de jacintos de los bosques.

Miner's lettuce, again

Pink fawn lily, with its blotchy leaves.

A single fawn lily.. The green towers are new horsetail sprouts.

Pink and white

Dutchman's breeches in my deep shade garden:

Dicentra spectabilis var. "Alba"

Laurie has the sunny side, and his "Breeches" are pink:

Now re-named Lamprocapros spectabilis
These are also known as Bleeding Heart; they're a relative of our native woodland Dicentra formosa. Other names include Lady's locket, Lyre flower, and Lady in the Bath.
