January Blues - Agapanthus that is...

  To be frank, our flower farm in Dumfries & Galloway looks a tad messy just now after a January-full of relentless wind & rain. But I have to start somewhere.
  The last of the Tulips are in finally & so time for a bit of tidying. The wind seems to have blown pots all over the place!⁠
  These Agapanthus are tucked up snug in the tiny greenhouse just now, & will be strutting their stuff again in July.⁠
  With an acre of flowers, there's always something lovely to cut from April to late September. It's becoming trickier to predict timings as climate change is already throwing away the rule book.       There's always something lovely though - just might be a bit earlier or later than it used to be! ⁠
This month I've been cutting Pussy Willow, colourful Willow stems & contorted Hazel - interesting shapes to admire in a vase. ⁠
And I began cutting Pussy Willow in mid-December to include in our Christmas bouquets - a full 2 weeks ahead of last year. Mad.⁠
