A Visit to Ickworth house

On Wednesday, I visited Ickworth House in Suffolk to see some spring flowers, it was perhaps a little early to see spring flowers although there where a few, Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis and Galanthus elwesii), Winter aconites (Eranthis hyemalis). The Daffodils where just emerging. In the walled garden I came across some crocuses, I think they are Crocus sieberi subsp. atticus 'Bowles White' but I am probably wrong.
Their website said there where 'many spring flowers between the months of February into April', whoever wrote that probably is not a keen gardener. Looks like I will have to wait for any Primula and Fritilliria to flower in my own garden

An Intro...

This is my first post to this blog. Apparently I am supposed to write something inspirational here, but I don't have time to do that and I would rather take a picture of it anyway. That is what this blog will be filled with, Photos of Plants, Flowers and Landscapes - The lot. I hope you enjoy looking at what post. To sign of here is a shot of an Iris recticulata 'Cantab' flower.
