Bluebells and cherry blosoms

Some people regard the bluebells as noxious as weeds but I love them when they appear in spring, providing clusters of blue in different parts of the garden.  The most inept of gardeners can easily grow this bulb and can expect good results.

The star shaped pale blue flowers next to the bluebells I call the star of Bethlehem.  It may not be its correct name but this is another easy bulb to grow and it will proliferate.  The bulbs are smaller than that of the bluebells and when left untouched the patch will expand without any help.

The two cherry trees are looking good at the moment.  They are small trees and I keep them that way.  Last year I harvested a handful of cherries from each tree and we will see what this season has to offer.

The cherry blossoms are gorgeous and is it any wonder that the Japanese people make such a big deal of celebrating the opening of the blossoms.  The bees are having a wonderful time.
