Simple drawings of common garden flowers with a brief write up.

Strictly speaking, Bluebells are not gardening.  They are a wild flower, protected from digging up and replanting in your own back yard.

Tending to grow in woods, the Bluebell is a sign of Spring.  Enjoy them, photograph them and leave them alone!

The bright yellow daffodil is a sign of Spring and better times to come.

The daisy is both a fine sight and a menace in lawns.  Children love them but a patch of daisies can soon spread among finely cut grass, the shorter the better.

Regardless of lawns, the daisy or days-eye as it was known due to the short life of the flower, is a common plant unfairly described as a weed.

Think childhood days, long long summer holidays and making daisy chains with friends.

The flower of love.  And thorns.  Roses are red, etc.  Symbol of the Wars of the Roses.  Perhaps the most important flower in English gardens.

Tiny flowers peeping through the debris from last year as Spring approaches.  The Snowdrop (or Galanthus) is one of the first signs in the garden that the winter is ending, and a New Year of gardening promise awaits.

Sunflowers are a children's favorite for learning about growing.  From a tiny seed to a tall striking flower, sunflowers are an attraction that make everyone smile.  Birds love the seeds too.
