Three Peacocks arrive in the garden

Posted by Andrew on 08/08/201312/03/2017

I was just leaving my house to do my weekly shop – it was about 6:45pm, and not even sunshining – and I spotted three beautiful Peacock Butterflies ‘Inachis io’ on my White Buddleja.

Had to take photos whilst they all sat their gently fanning their wings.

I've been growing things since I was about 5 years old. Now I'm an adult, I'm sowing, nurturing, harvesting and enjoying the blooms in my own gardens. View all posts by Andrew

My #crocuses are really going for it now. Lovely rows of #purple #flowers, like a fanfare for the bees. . . . . . . #flower #bulbs #garden #gardening #mygarden #spring #inmygarden #instagardeners #pollen #beefriendly

#spring is springing... . . . . . #flowers #bulbs #gardening #garden #instagardeners #plants #daffs #crocus #primula #daffodils #inmygarden #mygarden

A little flash of #colour in the #garden for #february with these #orange and #purple #crocus #flowers. The #bees find these useful early food as they emerge from hibernation, particularly as its been fairly mild here so far this winter. . . . . . . #spring #inmygarden #mygarden #gardening #instagardeners #bulbs

Made a friend in the #garden... Well, sort of...

And we're off! The first sowing of 2019 and it's #gojiberries from the #jameswong range with #suttons seeds. These won't yield until the summer of 2020.... So, see you there! . . . . . #seeds #garden #gardening #plantpot #inmygarden #homegrown #growyourownfood #berries #goji #greenfingers #healthyfood

It's the #biggardenbirdwatch this weekend, and I've just done mine. It's windy here today, so I don't think I had as many birds visit as last year, but I feed the birds all year round, so they will know they can get food and water from my garden. . . . . . . . #rspb #birdwatching #inmygarden #mygarden #birds #census #wildlife #nature #featheredfriends #sparrows #robin #starlings #greattits #bluetits
