Fourthly, I decided to go with a little patch of Itzim. These are from the Cyclamineus division. I just liked the look of the long bright slightly downward pointing orange trumpets against the recurved bright yellow petals. Colourful and very pretty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1618776113679-B4UWQZIYJ7EG4IRFMCAJ/daffodil+sussex+garden-1004b.jpg Blog - Daffodils in my Garden | Nuts about Narcissi - The Joy of Narcissi …. Over the years I’ve grown painfully aware that my garden has lacked a burst of spring colour. Spring uplifts us as we come out of the winter, and celebrating that in our gardens should be a given. Aside from a few thousand crocus bulbs (a few hundred of which were scattered into the front lawns) I wanted to give the back beds a serious daffodil boost. These delightful blooms are synonymous with the fresh cool pale shades of springtime and they are popular with good reason. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1618774091474-2FKIQRQ83P2XI97JGVIH/daffodils+minnow+west+sussex-.jpg Blog - Daffodils in my Garden | Nuts about Narcissi - Minnows …. Thirdly, I wanted to incorporate a few little clumps of the hardy cream and yellow “Minnows” (shown above) into the scheme somewhere. I say hardy, as these do actually belong to the Tazetta group or division, which as I mentioned previously is generally a tender one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1618774265035-Y57TDVQAG36LINWO8Q2K/daffodil+actaea+poeticus-1026.jpg Blog - Daffodils in my Garden | Nuts about Narcissi - Actaea Poeticus …. One of my favourites, I love the darker orange accent to the trumpet. A truly beautiful narcissus. A low sun in the late afternoon was used to subtly backlight this beautiful flower, so it almost glows from within. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1618772104269-1WC2RQ36ZX0Q4XKAEIQC/daffodil+replete-1066.jpg Blog - Daffodils in my Garden | Nuts about Narcissi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1618772104418-3FP73SGUMJ8YHT0XA5TG/daffodils+replete-1068.jpg Blog - Daffodils in my Garden | Nuts about Narcissi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1618772104892-XAAM3O63HPQQJZTP7WVN/growing+replete+daffodils+sussex-3.jpg Blog - Daffodils in my Garden | Nuts about Narcissi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1618775179148-7TJIBVTUDOYVKHEG3ERG/daffodil+thalia-1015.jpg Blog - Daffodils in my Garden | Nuts about Narcissi - Thalia …. I also have a largish semi-shaded area under a large Norway Maple that I felt would benefit from a swathe of pure white multi-headed scented Narcissus. For me there was a clear winner here - it had to be Thalia variety from the Triandrus Division. Each of them would show themselves with up to 3 flower heads. I think they look fabulous in drifts and it was the mini-drift effect I was after. I ordered 100 bulbs of these last year and popped them in during the Autumn. As you can see they are coming out well with the starting to approach 300 flower heads! They will also naturalise further over time.

Close-up filters (casually referred to as ‘diopters’) come in varying magnification levels.

Golden light at the beginning or end of the day is a no-brainer for nature photography.

Sometimes stepping back and including a little more background can add context to a plant portrait. These ferns live on the banks of a small lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616501254890-X63OFD7AF02O75K9Q1DK/flower+photography+composition-066.jpg Blog - An Introduction to Flower & Plant Photography - An infinite spectrum of subjects ….

I used a 60mm macro lens (on a micro four thirds camera) to capture this insect portrait. The diffused colours in the background complement the colour of the insect’s eyes. Had I been travelling light that day, I could just as easily have used a close-up diopter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616508019683-UWTJM37B0O0C3OR0VVXZ/flower+photography+composition+tips.jpg Blog - An Introduction to Flower & Plant Photography - Backgrounds in composition …. Backgrounds are everything in flower photography. Creating diffused pools of complementary or contrasting colour can add impact to the main subject. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616501735720-B13YUDMYK7S0FN8BDMZ6/flower+photography+tips-surrey.jpg Blog - An Introduction to Flower & Plant Photography - Isolating an individual …. A young fern frond on a walk in local woodland caught my attention. The tiny frond leaves almost look like scales, creating repeating layers as the plant slowly unfurls over the coming days. A fresh green background creates a cohesive look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616508561369-W2D4F0EB9O5R27WFL7I8/flower+photography+lenses.jpg Blog - An Introduction to Flower & Plant Photography - Creating subject separation …. Making sure there’s enough distance between your subject and the background helps to create a sense of separation. Choosing a longer than ‘normal’ focal length makes this much easier. https://www.freemangardener.com/blog/encouraging-wildlife-to-your-garden monthly 0.5 2021-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616343746578-N0F5P9N3UVFPHZY4RXHE/garden-squirrels-sussex-1006b.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden - Helping our Garden Visitors …. Across lockdown I’ve got to know my furry and feathered garden inhabitants rather well. The process of training them onto the hand was certainly faster than I’d imagined. The more time we spend in our gardens, the more our wildlife will trust us. This is fantastic for the photographers out there - in my view there’s no better therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616345167728-DAXK3TS0OZ2D6FNBLR84/garden+wildlife-1003-2.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616345169692-1T9J0VVL90NDJ75V8XC3/garden+wildlife-1038.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616345175276-MBFA2BUEU90JU3EDE32G/garden+wildlife-1038-2.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616345227774-MIVO1F7Z3EJIN5GW0EHP/garden+wildlife-1032.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616343947561-8PY51U2XPB1PR3D5J4JO/garden+wildlife-1016.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616343935212-IB79QNCSTGVB1FWOK4ES/garden+wildlife-1008-3.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616343938428-NED15D4A19SFEEYXNFJE/garden+wildlife-1012.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616343943866-F6V2OHKBR49QEVURG3C7/garden+wildlife-1014-2.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616335126584-F51LKXPG0YFNHWTWS602/garden+wildlife-1022.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616335131767-45ZUSMZWKDYUGOVX57T4/garden+wildlife-1027.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616345396382-WIHS7OYT97M5MUZ4C11F/garden+wildlife-1020-2.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616335138533-P4DNHL2ZG818JO98HJRF/garden+wildlife-1062.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616334694301-5XW1QI8CDRCII5M5ECEQ/garden+wildlife-3.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616334706253-OUSZHICP4J01J09ALR2D/garden+wildlife-1007.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616334710798-R0FYWAC41BO234027BTT/garden+wildlife-1008.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616334716390-1PNKSJZUSJH9MWMA6SAC/garden+wildlife-1017.jpg Blog - Encouraging Wildlife to your Garden https://www.freemangardener.com/blog/growing-banana-plants-sussex monthly 0.5 2021-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616189058367-YJ2Q9IJOXO56S5ZHVRPC/banana-plants-sussex-1024.jpg Blog - My Experience Growing Banana Plants - Red Tiger …. I was absolutely shocked by how quickly this plant grew - at one point I was recording growth rates of around 4 inches per 24 hours! As the Red Tiger grows, the stripes become darker and slightly less distinct. It’s a magnificent specimen to have in any garden and adds an exotic, lush feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616328979302-ZV8FNVGX8RL594F9Z1NO/wrapped-banana-plant.jpg Blog - My Experience Growing Banana Plants - A wrapped Banana plant …. This is a fully protected banana plant, and I can’t wait to unwrap it soon. As I mentioned, this stage isn’t absolutely essential, but it means your banana plants will have a head start with the trunk preserved. The structure is approximately 4 feet high. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/1616189184228-2AJA0VBWLMNBNLALU080/banana-plants-sussex-1000-2.jpg Blog - My Experience Growing Banana Plants - Banana Plants ….

Like many of us, over the years I’ve weathered the rigours of a fast-paced profession and at times I’ve struggled to keep my head above water. With over two decades in IT project management I’ve come to appreciate the simple pleasures which offer even a small measure of escapism and respite. Recently I’ve been able to reduce my working hours a little, and those spare hours are spent in my garden. I’m often battling poor soil and honey fungus, but tending something living and breathing gives me a sense of satisfaction which is hard to match. I’m also a keen nature and wildlife photographer. https://www.freemangardener.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-03-25 https://www.freemangardener.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/17051300-c5b5-4f8a-aa64-3b50256b76d0/west-sussex-gardener-1017.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/23904c25-f4f4-4895-8437-3fefac12915c/west-sussex-gardener-1020.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/cf0242a2-091a-4116-ac31-bad577256a78/west-sussex-gardener-1027.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/232dd7d1-66a4-4b79-9de3-1a8483367988/west-sussex-gardener-1073.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/5c219454-6214-4919-861c-c7edc031a568/west-sussex-gardener-2028.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/79b59ee0-5f6a-4c6b-8ff0-c8bc544ba91e/west-sussex-gardener-1046.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/c28b717a-a3e4-46bc-80d1-28fd1e654135/west-sussex-gardener-3001.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/7b97a771-43f4-478e-9cdc-2def8e9143fa/west-sussex-gardener-2009.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/84017edd-7298-4021-9156-4c9c5c1a4545/west-sussex-gardener-2000.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/20427b89-7193-498f-b626-bca0aba96829/west-sussex-gardener-2030.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/58cbe9aa-00fb-44df-bf55-0003c825541d/west-sussex-gardener-1241.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/77eb5c95-5644-4c96-8208-94b21e9fe2d3/west-sussex-gardener-1032.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/d0d01c28-251a-4aa9-902f-a5fa2b62ecdf/west-sussex-gardener-1075.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/6770fbf9-2ebc-4528-9fc0-02bf09eaadf4/west-sussex-gardener-1084.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/99826388-fb41-46c0-8d6c-6c8f3ee0005f/west-sussex-gardener-2024.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/84883e88-53ec-4229-be1c-4110a7228525/west-sussex-gardener-3014.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/f4fbc2a7-f782-4f4c-af98-2c48a72165c1/west-sussex-gardener-2018.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/076b1263-c520-4487-bf2c-bec2487a7a04/west-sussex-gardener-1108.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/d9455236-b9db-466c-aed6-16cd07fce23a/west-sussex-gardener-1110.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/9874c13c-a628-4906-9b7f-55d2c9a845dc/west-sussex-gardener-2064.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/bce1c600-4044-4789-a799-170b25ec53c0/west-sussex-gardener-1111.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/d400d123-6f57-4a00-9414-c7775ff62106/west-sussex-gardener-1137.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/5014b39a-0a29-424f-9bef-881c02026329/west-sussex-gardener-1138.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/8c9fca72-9170-4aba-90cb-c28146ff2ff5/west-sussex-gardener-1141-2.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/37f0ccab-cbe7-4e77-ad77-963e7f3079fe/west-sussex-gardener-2036.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/ef98abb1-3b2c-43bb-87a2-f1c4ec745c36/west-sussex-gardener-1092.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/208644e0-df7b-4962-b327-4d600c79c0a8/west-sussex-gardener-2045.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/d5d67e9f-7df1-41c5-824d-4e25eb142943/west-sussex-gardener-2046.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/d8142b52-357b-4547-9f7e-0ef941f2d770/west-sussex-gardener-2052.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/a2bfe973-0ac8-4dc9-b1f2-1f57832311f8/west-sussex-gardener-3007.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/b7df08c6-4d73-4b05-bd0e-90f0eb104581/west-sussex-gardener-1025.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/d55c3c13-7583-4eac-a91a-49957495b32a/west-sussex-gardener-1053.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60520e9b5298b473c66e66e8/29f9667f-9b0b-44db-b67d-933b6b5c069a/west-sussex-gardener-3015.jpg Gallery
