More than usual for the April scans, what with the early spring warm weather. (We’re probably around two to three weeks ahead on growing degree days.) Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting. Click on images for larger views.
Daffs.
More daffs.
Etc.
More etc.
Try it yourself. It’s easy. Flower scanning directions are here.
Another nice collection. I like the floating in space quality of the first picture and the panorama-like last one.
My bluebells are not so far along. What is the yellow bloom in the first picture? It looks like you have quite the collection of primulas.
Thanks for the kind words, Les.
Cathy: Those are all daffodils in the first image. The double I think you’re referring to is (I’m pretty sure) ‘Irene Copeland’ — a 1915 heirloom from Old Home Gardens.
I’ve got a few nice but neglected clumps of primulas here and there. I like them, but they don’t get the attention they deserve.
What is neat idea. I must give it a try, thanks. Beautiful blooms.
As gorgeous as ever. Since many of these are plants I know, I like the fact that I can figure out the scale of everything. I had thought I did not like double daffs, but seeing ‘Irene’ I may have just changed my mind. What is the daff with the peachy edging?
Your scans never disappoint.
I love these scans; but I couldn’t bear to cut my flowers to do this myself.
Hi Craig,
I’m the picture researcher for Resurgence & Ecologist magazine, the UK’s longest running voice of the green movement. I’ve come across your incredible bloom day scans and with your permission we’d like to us this one (labelled ‘Etc.’ above) as the cover image for our upcoming issue.
I’m really hoping you’d be happy to have your work included, I’d love to hear from you. I’m afraid I’m contacting you at the 11th hour as we go to press in a few days.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed,
Best wishes,
Emily
