SPRING FLOWERS AT BRODIE

After a really hard winter it's great to see life returning to gardens, parks and the countryside. These photos were taken a few days ago in the garden of Brodie Castle.
Click on photos to enlarge them.

We usually have the garden to ourselves but today other people were enjoying it too.


I love these cyclamen
The leaves are as beautiful as the flowers.


I think these are Chinadoxia (don't know if that's the correct spelling)

Simply lovely and I imagine there was a really 'green' Spring smell in the air. Hope the weather keeps for you :-)

When i first saw tulips growing this way under the trees in Spring, i was so delighted because they look just grasses in their native habitats. These photos you show look the same with different plants. These are the things i love in temperate countries, the grasslike flowers, which were just left there to bloom,untended.

I love your photos especially those in the ruins and earlier than that. Do you know that we have a few islands in our country we somehow associate with the landscape of Scotland? It is in Batanes and it is far from our mainland, so only few from here were able to visit. I was there last year and will visit again in June. thanks for the beautiful photos.
