1. Hello spring! Lovely.

2. My middle name – spelt Iiris 🙂

   1. How pretty! I haven’t heard of that before.

      1. It’s Finnish. Phonetically pronounced.

3. How lucky you are to visit some of the best gardens again and again, especially Gresgarth and Wollerton Old Hall. Can I come stay with you for a month or two?

   1. It’s a case of the grass looking greener, I think – I feel just the same about you! I’d love to visit Gresgarth every month it’s open, though I’m way off achieving that!

4. Beautiful flowers!

5. So uplifting – wonderful bright spring colours to brighten up today which has turned out windy and wet – again.

   1. It was pretty wild here too – I finished posting this, went to the window and discovered everything was covered in snow.

6. Always loved the purple iris!

   1. I’m not familiar with this type: it was like a cross between an iris and a crocus, though I’d find it hard to justify why I’m saying that.

7. What are the little white ones in the middle picture? I’ve seen them somewhere before.

   1. They’re double snowdrops – we’re more used to seeing them hanging down, but I wanted to show their petticoats.

      1. Ok. I know where I saw them. Jane Basil has them in the header on her blog.

8. I love crocus forests.

   1. That’s a great term for them. They weren’t easy to photograph as they were dancing around – it was pretty windy.

      1. A dancing crocus forest has a lot of potential.

9. Lovely bit of spring!

10. Beautiful, Susan! Makes me long for mine to come up all the more!
