Moving Forward: Day 26

Becky’s Squares photo challenge has returned.

This month’s theme is Renew. Or Burgeoning. Or Moving Forward. Or Reconstructing.

You get the idea.

Seeing the garden awaken after months of deluge made me think that maybe seeing how nature renews itself might be my theme. Although my intention was to feature my own garden this month, a visit to Kew Gardens at the beginning of the month with my daughter and granddaughter provided me with the opportunity to experiment with the phone I have inherited from my son.  So for the next week or so I shall share some of the things that caught my eye there. Spending time with family very much helped me in the process of moving forward.

Explosion of Joy

The genus Leucocoryne comprises a group of bulb-forming plants native to Chile. These have commonly been known as ‘glory of the sun’ since the 1920s, when plant collector Clarence Elliot coined the phrase.

    What lovely blooms.

  2. For a moment, I thought it was irises (maybe the colour that fooled me). Beautiful and joyful!

    They really deserve their name because they certainly are glorious! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before.
