Horticultural highlight of the week (2014 week 9) - Narcissus 'February Gold'

The first 'plant of the week' of 2014 is a bit of a blatant excuse to post some photos with my recently purchased squidcam lens for my iPhone 5 - which has a great macro lens which of course is fantasitc for some amazing close-ups of flowers, plants, insects and nature in general!

Anyway these little beauties opened up in to the world last week and provide a welcome splash of colour in an otherwise dull and soggy garden. The original bulbs were planted in November 2011 so have started to form nice clumps. Bulbs purchased from Avon Bulbs.

The photos speak for themselves really.
