On the garden fair



And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

[From The Sensitive Plant by Percy Bysshe Shelley]

It's the Vernal Equinox, dear reader, known in some quarters as "The first day of Spring".

From now on, the days get longer - Summer's just around the corner...

    1. Our snowdrops, dwarf irises and crocuses came and went (althought I have seen crocuses still in flower around the area), but our daffs, tulips and chionodoxa are ablaze, and the lilies and dahlias are sprouting already... Jx
