It was sunny and lovely and the bush is springing to life after all the winter rains we&#8217;ve had. Much of my childhood was spent living near the beach; I spent hours searching for shells and crabs and odd treasures washed up on the tide. If I may boast, I&#8217;m very good at spotting little things and my theory is that those days on the shore trained me to look down. (Alternatively, it&#8217;s just short sightedness!)<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday&#8217;s wild treasures in the bush were Early Nancy and Nodding Greenhoods. In a tiny, quiet, un-flashy way &#8211; aren&#8217;t they spectacular? And on the domestic front, these gorgeous crocus. For years I&#8217;ve planted pots of tulips and grape hyacinth to cheer us up in the early spring; this year I branched out with Snow Crocus and Crocus &#8216;Pickwick&#8217;.
