I was quite surprised to see so many rhododendrons in flower at Stourhead today, as well as many pretty snowdrops and primroses.

I never realised that Stourheand could look so good in the winter Rosa. I love the delicate pink bloom too ~ All the best ~ Nick

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Nick Weall club
Yes it was more colourful than expected Nick. I don't think I have ever seen rhododendrons this early, although one of them was called Christmas Cheer, so I guess it is an early variety!
Best wishes, Rosa.

The rhododendrons are very pretty................and really brighten up the scene. I like the detail you've captured and especially that lovely old tree trunk.

I escaped the house for a short walk today (supervised of course) and even managed a few pics :-)

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
They do brighten up a winter scene. I'm pleased you noticed the tree trunk, as that is what prompted me to take this particular shot.

Well done on your supervised walk Keith...easy does it and you'll be well on your way to full fitness again. All the best.

Hi Rosa

You must be having such good weather to find these flowers in bloom already!
My snowdrops are just beginning to show a bit of white...
I like this bright summer looking picture a lot!

Best Wishes,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Well, it is very mild and everything seems to be ahead of its time. Not really a good sign, but nice to see such colour in winter. My daff's are out now and the primroses are well on their way.

Best wishes, Rosa.
