The first Saturday in meteorological spring, the second Saturday of a horrific war in Europe. It seems frivolous to look at and think about the garden. But I did, and it brought some joy. Hope it brings you some too. It’s all about flowers.

First, the yellows of late winter witch hazel, early spring primula and the very first spring daffodil.

Now the late winter blue of iris, and the spring colours of scilla and periwinkle.

That’s my #SixonSaturday for this week. Stay safe, and don’t forget to follow the crowd on twitter and via the web from links to the originator of #SixonSaturday, the Propagator himself.
