colourful spring flowers

 At the moment flowers of different hues are attracting the birds and bees and the occasional masked walkers who stop to look at the garden.  The earlier flowering bulbs are looking miserable with only their dead flower stalks left but they will remain looking unsightly so their leaves can feed the bulbs for next year's growth.
