Seeing Red

Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed a lot of lovely green sprouting up all over the show. I love green, it's the colour of my eyes, the colour of Ireland and the sign of growth and happiness to come. I love flowers, yes, but greenery such as bamboos and ferns bring joyous colour to my world every day of the year.

But, recently, over these very same couple of weeks I've been attracted to all the wondrous shades of red. The unopened apple blossoms, the ladybirds, well see for yourself.....

Apple Blossoms

Ladybirds (2 are getting friendly)

Broad Beans - Pink close to the stem

Rhubarb - RED


Hellebore leaf veins

New Cherry Tree leaves


Brussels Sprout leaf veins

Beetroot

Rhubarb Flower head (not mine)

Pink blotches on the new Pear leaves (tell me it's supposed to be like that!)


Alan and the old cooking pot

Okay, so I cheated on the last 2! But I really do have a lot more photos of things, for instance the new Raspberry cane shoots, the fine hairs on the Redcurrant bush's main stem and the gorgeous red thorns on our climbing rose.

Oh, where will I be when you read this bloggette? Scheduling it for Wednesday...so...the train up to Milan. Oh, sorry, have I made you jealous, hehe. x
