.. flowers for cutting..

Even tiny pickings are lovely. I had to creep into corners to find these little gems.

The dainty blossom from prunus 'Kojo-no-mai 'doesn't provide much for picking but if the weather is poor and I feel I am not seeing much of it's short lived blossoms I sometimes pick a tiny bit to put in a jar on the bedside table.

The bold and handsome foliage of viburnum 'Davidii' is uselful all year - the pink buds are followed by white flowers then blue berries and a spray looks very fine in a jar on its own.

I have daffodils for quite a long time. Topolino and Tete A Tete, then February Gold, then Jenny, then Thalia (still to come) with some others I don't know the names of which were here when I came.

A simple pleasure.

Tiny pickings are lovely - I think we often appreciate them more, especially when we've had to hunt around for them! Daffs flowering here currently are Cornish Chuckles and Loveday... and lots unknown too.

There is an amazing variety of daffs - I especially like the ones with reflexed petals (Jenny and Thalia).

Little gems indeed, (Spring) messages in a bottle!

I have some daffodils a friend brought- I don't know the name- and in a repurposed tiny inkwell some twiggies that broke off while planting campanula.

Is that the campanula that you manage to overwinter on your balcony?
