Looking a little closer






















One thing about winter is that it is a simpler time in the garden and the moments between the rain when I go out, I can  really appreciate the little things. Top left, a Euphorbia after the rain, right the lime green flower buds of Helleborus feotidus, moss on the apple tree and finally a pink pulmonaria.

Solanum laxum alba



My late flowering Solanum laxum alba, a potato vine. Not too many flowers this year, it's in too shady a spot I think and I've not been pruning it. I'll try and remember next year.
