Helen Johnstone
I live in Malvern, Worcestershire and am a very keen gardener. I started the Patient Gardener Blog in January 2008 as a way of recording what was happening in my garden and connecting with other like-minded people. I started a second blog PatientGardener 365 January 2013 in order to try and post a photo a day to capture what is growing in my garden or places I have visited

They are beautifully marked Helen, even before they are open.

Perfectly beautiful! If Wordless Wednesday is your meme, please may I add an image of my own and is there a protocol re links?

Hi Kate
I don’t know who originated the wordless Wednesday meme it’s been around for years and years. I never link anywhere and I have never seen any links anywhere else. So join in

Like Brian I love the markings, its as if you have taken your palette of paints and ‘improved’ on an already perfect form of crocus.

Wow … how delicious

What intricate markings on such a small flower Helen. A real work of art.

Nature has been at it again…gorgeous! There used to be a meme, possibly two, but the person hosting changed and it became a bit of a faff so like most of us I just post my own WW

Those are so beautiful. Are they new? Will you put them in the ground?

Hi Dorris
They are new, I bought the corms at the end of last year. They will stay in a pot as I can give them the drainage they need which they won’t get in my clay soil.

Ah ha. I wondered about just that as I am on heavy clay. Gorgeous. You must be delighted
