Spring Flowers

I am really behind on blogging and reading and commenting on blog posts for which I apologise, I will endeavour to catch up over the next week but I am making an effort to keep up with Five On Friday, as usual hosted by Amy at Love Made My Home.


This week it has been a delight to see some beautiful Spring flowers when we have been out and about.

These violets were growing in profusion on a roadside bank - wish now that I had taken a wider view so you could see just how many there were but I was trying to get the detail of these delicate little flowers.

Primroses - it does seem to be a fantastic year for them in my part of the country, most of them growing in great clumps on the side of busy roads where you cannot stop to photograph them!

Yesterday we visited this lovely bluebell wood at Micheldever, is there any more beautiful sight than bluebells growing in their natural environment?

After visiting the bluebell woods we stopped off for some lunch and these stunning tulips were growing in the pub garden, I think tulips rank as one of my top three favourite flowers.

And last but not least we came across this stunning magnolia. I visited what was for me a new wool shop in Basingstoke, after visiting the woods and enjoying our lovely lunch, and this magnolia was growing alongside the shop.
