Before posting today’s bit of virtual chocolate, I need to give out a bit of a warning.
LILY BEETLE!
These scarlet and black demons are out and about already. I squished three today, so there’ll be some preventive measures over the next few days, I think. I thought the potted Fritillaria meleagris was looking a bit peaky, but I found them on my Lilium martagon ‘Claude Shride’.
So, if you’ve got lilies or fritillarias in growth, check them out.
So, to get my blood pressure down, here’s today’s picture, a very pretty and frilly double tulip, and its red companion.
Don’t you love spring?
