The Old Forge (Monday 23rd April 2018)

Those couple of days of sun we had last week really woke up the garden, which changed more in a couple of days than it had in the last two months. I had a wander round the garden with my camera yesterday afternoon photographing some of the flowers that had just come out. This maple tree (acer pseudoplatanus Brilliantissimum) had started coming into leaf a day or two before and isn't fully in leaf yet, a fortnight or more later than last year. This year I have photographed it from standing just below.
The Extra shows some grape hyacinths (muscari). It is the first year I have grown any.
