This Welsh Poppy popped open in the sunshine this afternoon
The Orange poppy followed suit looking rather crumpled in it’s rush to enjoy the sun!
Double Pink Tulips finally looking frillier – I think they are called Angelique
Love the bloom on the Dark Knight Tulips
One of the first Rhododendrons to open, it is pale pink now it used to be white, this Bluebell has beaten the others too they are all still in bud in the Spinney.
The other Rhododendron to be ahead of the rest is this yummy pink one – I don’t know their names alas.
Lovely sunny weather and a little rain has done wonders for the flowers this spring hope you enjoyed seeing a few of mine that are flowering today.

I do like the crumpled orange poppy - it looks ever so lovely. Your Rhoddies are nice too and isn't it great when the sun comes out and brings the flowers along with it :)

Thank you Bloomer the pink and Dark Knight Tulips are my favourites, Welsh poppies everywhere here too but this is the only one out so far, lots coming into flower just now I love to see them they're like old friends calling in :o)
Thank you Pam Just love to see them all appear, Poppies look so delicate don't they - like coloured tissue paper :o)
Thank you Oliveoil Yes Poppies are wonderful whatever their colour, glad you liked my pictures :o)
Thank you Hywel The Dark Knight Tulips are like Velvet with the lovely bloom on their petals :o)
Thank you Scottish Poor Orange Poppy is looking very sorry for itself outside my kitchen window in the rain today, such a change from yesterday, still they need that too I suppose - it makes the sunshine even more welcome :o)

I have planted Tulip 'Angelique' for this year - aren't they a beautiful variety? Waiting for my Welsh Poppies to open up - just need more sun, less rain!
