February Flowers

At the beginning of this year I decided to record what was new in the garden on or around the 1st of each month.

There were just a few new flowers at the beginning of February: several hellebores, one or two crocus, just one narcissus flowering. In greater profusion were snowdrops and winter aconites.

The violas, primroses, euphorbia are still flowering and there are still berries on the holly and Christmas box.

Picture of the Day

I'm not planning to post every one of my 'Picture a Day' project on the Blog. If you interested in following you can take a look here.

But I do think I should record the new small shops which are being built near us. The last time I took a photograph of them was back in October when the walls were just beginning to go up.

Now the buildings are much near completion. We don't know yet what businesses will rent the shops but I do hope it won't be yet another hairdresser or charity shop. A health food shop or a deli would be good. Even better would be one of each.
