There is a richness in the blues and greens Lesley, with the freshness of spring. I only have one small clump, and I have no idea where they came from, I didn’t plant them!

They certainly have Carole I be spent today trying to thin some of them out as they are dying off, hundreds of tiny bulbs are hidden under my rockery, ready to bloom again next year.

Thankyou Fiona, like you, I didn't plant these, I guess the birds or even the squirrels have. Lovely spring colours. I think they could be very easily mistaken for bluebells at first sight...

Thankyou Thalia, my garden is rather small, taken years to establish, lol. Lots for me to paint. I can send you some bulbs if you wish. . Maybe by carrier pigeon

In a corner of my garden, those grape hyacinths are everywhere, lovely shades of purple,green and blue. I've tried to replicate but still having problems with my focus. I've used water colour on flamboyant watercolour paper. It's looking rather dark to me, I appreciate any feedback.
