From time to time bursting into song:
I've also noticed lots of birds gathering nesting material, Robin, House Sparrow, Blackbird and Starling being among them.
I think my first Cymbidium orchid is now in full bloom:
Now waiting for the larger one. Always a long waiting game as they seem to be very slow to grow and mature but make up for it by staying in flower for many weeks. A new miniature one arrived today so I potted it on and gave it a good soak and feed. This one is near flowering size so I am hoping to see it bloom next year.
Great looking flowers.
ReplyDeleteWilma. I love them. Getting impatient for the next to open.
DeleteRobins are wonderful gardening companions this time of year. Beautiful photos John. xx Matron
ReplyDeleteMatron: Thank you. They are.
DeleteBeautiful Robin photos :) I'm noticing birds in pairs here too and a wren carrying nest material into the ivy :) Sadly our nestbox camera has packed up so won't be able to watch the Blue Tits this year but they are visiting the box. Beautiful orchid :)
ReplyDeleteRR: Thank you. Yes the breeding season seem to be well under way now.
