I enjoy first visits of the year to Erddig because of the colours in the pleached limes. Whether this is technically winter growth or spring growth I don't know. It will be pruned away. This in February.  DSCF1486.jpg by Pete, on Flickr closer up  DSCF1465.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

Beautiful spring evening The iron duck at the gate of Lammas nature reserve.  Blue bells are kind of late in the spring  Think this has something of a Japanese feel to it  Sqidgill springs into action  |

Thought I'd not see these this year but they were late and past their best by the time we managed to get there. February 20th. Chirk  DSCF1506.jpg by Pete, on Flickr and really, really past their best by March 12th  DSCF1596.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

The fresh green of the grass, leaf buds just showing on trees and primroses spell spring for me

We went to Powis Castle too. Normally this is an autumn trip for the colours and as far as I can remember our first Spring visit. There was much more planting than I expected. It must get relatively cold here, being inland so there was still plenty of colour from the rhododendrons. A glimpse of the castle from the woods  274A1580.jpg by Pete, on Flickr Not the best of pics but the Wisteria was in full bloom.  274A1545.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |
