Don’t be hasty- there is new life emerging.


So many plants and shrubs appear not to have survived our hard winter. I’ve been keeping a close eye in my little back yard and carefully trimming the dead leaves and brittle twigs- but to my joy some new growth is appearing in many of the planters. #SilentSunday CLERODENDRUM
