Well, I can at last report that, 6 weeks late, my bluebells have made their appearance...
Sadly, just as I got organised on Friday to get the shot done, the Sun disappeared behind clouds and it's still hiding. So, rather than wait and miss the short flowering...
The big leaved monster in the middle is the poppy, which was cut right back before the Winter.
In the back garden there's a weird flowering shrub that will not stop flowering; it flowered until about the end of December and in February, with snow on the ground, there are still flowers on the insane bush. It is pretty much sheltered from the elements in the angle of a wall and the shed.
Blimey, that was short - the bluebells are already dying back, the flower bells losing their colour. *sigh*
