Irises in The Knot Garden
Those irises are blooming now in the Knot Garden in Fulham Palace, South West London. The beautiful wisteria framing the garden is thought to date back to the 19th century. It was a bright sunny day and I am planning to come again in the early evening when the light is a bit softer. The irises are the main feature now but the other flowers will follow soon. As I read on the Palace website the planting colour scheme is blue, red and yellow so hopefully I be able to show you what is blooming next.

March/April wildflowers
Today in UK is May Bank Holiday and as I write this the sky is brightening up tempting me to abandon the keyboard and head outside. The spring is in full swing and we are even expecting a heatwave at the end of this week. Still there are lots of bare trees but flowers are really taking off which is very exciting. Some wildflowers have been flowering all year round like red dead nettle or green alkanet due to mild winter. Spring is the most exciting as beautiful bluebells start blooming. Personally I always wait for snake’s head fritillaries which are growing in the local woodland park, alongside bluebells. I have got few favourite spots where I always go and check on the wildflowers. There is always something new popping out…
To finish off, here is a sneak preview what is next coming into flower. Happy days!
