blue,purple and white bells from my garden in wales

Welsh poppies these grow wild in my home garden in wales these photos where taken by my wife with on Ipod phone, just goes to show some are natural photographers.


the bells are very late this year we inherited the white bell plants with our house purchase in 1991. the bluebells where brought in when I did an extension on a house in Aberhafesp village.
the garden was a mass of blue and purple. when we started the excavations for the footings.
never thought they would survive being moved in full bloom but with care they servived as you can see from today's photos.
