I wonder where the birdie is ..
Some say the bird is on the wing ...
but I say the wing is on the bird ! "
And this morning, being officially Spring ... these birds have no home! They flew around and around yesterday evening wondering where the conifers were that housed their nest .... I am hoping there were no eggs or worse .. babies!
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, our three magnificent conifers were felled - took photos of the whole process which will be in later post - but my garden now looks like this ... :(
... trampled roses, agapanthus, salvias, Mackaya Bella, and even a new Flowering Plum! The only plant standing, unscathed is a young Silver Birch! Fortunately it's only one corner and as my hubby said ... I now have a project to do .. again ! First things first ... need to either move the Silver Birch to a strategic spot to hide the most hideous of houses next door which is now exposed ... or plant something else .. maybe evergreen, narrowish, doesn't make a mess because the pool is right there ... oh I yes .. that's why I planted conifers !!! aaarrgh! Have to find something else !
On a happier note : it's Spring I shall focus on the beautiful delicate pink flowers of Flowering Plum ..
..this is my opposite neighbour's magnificent speciman - perfect!!
.. and a quick update on the Blue Squill - looks like a ballet tutu now ...
Oh your poor garden. Love the 'tutu' tree!! I know that in just a few weeks your garden will be perfect. Happy spring day.
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt your garden will be looking stunning in no time! I'm looking forward to going home tonight and doing some work in mine! I have energy now that it's spring! Why is that?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll find replacements for the trees quickly :)
ReplyDeleteI also have a gaping hole now in my garden.
I am looking forward to see what the Blue Squill looks like when its in full bloom.
