How pretty your balcony must look at the moment. All those flowers are gorgeous.

Thank you, Kathryn. Yes, there is a bit colour & texture in every corner to keep me happy. The yellow really helps improve the mood & energy on chilly, rainy days, like yesterday. Because I don't have many plants, I appreciate every blossom.

a lovely display for so early in the year - you've obviously planned ahead. I've just discovered these tiny 'Tete-a-tete' daffodils this year as my Mum had some in her garden. They're very, very cute!

Divine. Happy spring - I love these transitional seasons most.

How's Piper liking the spring flowers?

Hi Sophie. I think all daffodils are cheerful but 'Tete-a-tete' as you say, are very, very cute. I bought several small pots of these bulbs in bloom & gave them as Easter gifts. The ones you see in photograph are a couple of pots I kept for myself.

Hello Lucy. I always seem to be revising my lists of favourite things but spring is a constant -- definitely my favourite season. Piper is patient with me as I view flowers through my camera lens. His preferred vegetation is long, lush grass -- lovely to roll in.

Lovely Elaine! I particularly like your narcissus.

Hi Arwen. I've enjoyed the daffodils so much this year. In fact, I'm about to go say "good morning" to them & the little bird who's been singing off-and-on since I woke up a couple of hours ago.
