Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus

 

Wishing you all

a very happy St David's Day. 

 

Spring is in the air at last, and we are delighted to have a few miniature daffodils in flower. We also have crocus, hellebore, cyclamen and miniature iris. 

 


 

I have spotted one of two queen bumblebees and a hoverfly, and hope it will not be long before I see my first butterfly of 2022. 

 


The spherical Wasp Spider egg-sac in the photo above rather looks as though it has been predated or come apart, perhaps due to the gales. I hope we will have more Wasp Spiders in the garden this coming summer, but it will be a case of 'wait and see'.

Belated Happy St David's Day, Caroline! This is a lovely selection of photos, it's always nice to see the spring flowers! I haven't seen any hoverflies or bees yet this year

Belated Happy St David's Day. Lovely photos of your garden flowers - I love those little irises - we used to have some in the patio wall but they eventually disappeared. I do hope you see a butterfly soon.
