The Nature Table: April
Thursday, April 21, 2011 at 10:17 PM If I could bottle blue sky and give it pride of place on my nature table, I would. The weather’s been idyllic so far this month. It feels like the sun will shine forever.
Even without the bottled sky, my table is full to bursting. Spring has sprung in riotous fashion and there’s not room for all the things I want to display.
This, then, is a selection of all that’s jostling for space right now….
1. Hellebores - pure Lenten roses
2. Zingy new green leaves in abundance
3. No idea what these are but I loved them!
4. Beautiful, beautiful blossom - everywhere you turn
5. Flowering currants - they smell fabulous and the bees love them
6. Daffodils - they’ve been spectacular
7. Daisies - I adore daisies
8. Berries in the hedgerow
9. Dandelions - sunshine on earth
10. Unknown flower at the field edge (I really should look these things up…)
11. Pine cones in the making
12. Tulips - lush, lush colour
13. Primroses - native wildflowers
14. Forget-me-nots (I never will)
15. The gardens are brimming with flowers
16. There’s going to be a bumper crop of bilberries this year
17. I have ten of these woolly bundles in my field right now

Spring on Dixon Hill looks amazing! I love the lambs.
I love these collages that you assemble. This one is a particularly pretty one.
