Certain houses back onto our local park on one side. This ↓ lady has a garden, which she is quite willing to share. I mean the lady on the balcony. She is British, which probably explains why she has such a nice, little garden. But perhaps that is too much of a stereotype?

| The lady was very friendly and didn't mind us trodding about her garden. |
On a windy day, I took a few quick snaps. The pics are nothing special to look at, but the flowers were certainly good to see. There were hyacinths and two varieties of daffs. No tulips yet, but they will come in time. You can also see some low-lying purple squill in the background of some of the photos.
I know that I do go on, but spring flowers are just so doggone wonderful to see and last for such a short time.
Oh, I KNOW! Why do they fade so quickly? They are definitely some of the loveliest, probably made all the more so by the long wait.
ReplyDeleteI do think that being British may have a thing or two to do with her garden. My plants are finally popping up.
ReplyDeleteIt posted!!!
DeleteGreat to share other's blooms these short springtime days of beauty! And then share with me here too!
ReplyDeleteThe spring flowers certainly lift the spirits. I love seeing them in your pics.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to come across a friendly Brit! 😉😂
ReplyDeleteAny time I've stopped to admire a stranger's flower garden, they are always friendly and welcoming. Couldn't be a better ice-breaker!
ReplyDeleteAlso it makes me think of something Evelyn Waugh wrote to a friend of his. I paraphrase: You should come and visit. My flowers would like to see you.

Daffodils are about the cheeriest plant ever. Love that she wanted to share her garden :)
ReplyDeleteMost gardeners are friendly and willing to share garden tips and flowers.
ReplyDeletei do like daffodils
ReplyDeleteDaffodils and Hyacinths are always so wonderful to see in the spring. Sorry but my wheelchair is not online, though I can plug in my phone to charge it.
ReplyDeleteThe lady was very nice. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of spring flowers!
ReplyDeleteThat was nice of her to share her garden so you could take pictures.
ReplyDeleteI never get tired of seeing spring flowers. I have hyacinths and tulips, no daffs. My tulips are still blooming but everything else is over. Next are the bearded irises, then the planting of the annuals. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing her little balcony. That's so cool. She can look out to her garden from a different vantage point.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a person here who is tired of spring!
ReplyDeleteTruly a nice space to enjoy in a sunny weather
ReplyDeleteThere’s honestly no such thing as "going on" too much when it comes to spring flowers. They’re the ultimate mood booster, especially after a long winter, and like you said—they’re gone in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteIt’s so refreshing to hear about neighbors who actually want to share their space like that. Usually, people are so protective of their patches, so having a friendly chat from the balcony while you enjoy the hyacinths is just wholesome. Stereotype or not, she’s clearly got the "green thumb" gene! Those purple squills in the background are the perfect touch, too. Thanks for the "quick snaps"—they definitely brightened my scroll today.
