Winter has returned

For  last few days it has snowed. Fortunately before the snow we had a day of strong wind and sunshine so I took the opportunity to cut as much grass as I could. What a relief that was as it was really long. I also planted the roses I was given by a friend.
I received a plant catalogue in the post. I am tempted to order 15 Glaïel d'Abysinie (Abyssinian Gladioli?) and 25 bulbs Plumes du Kansas (Kansas Feathers?).  Also a collection of 50 assorted plants. Perhaps if I plant loads of things then they will crowd out the damn buttercups.

Glaïel d'Abysinie

I think the above is correctly titled. I grew them last year from bulbs which I bought in a pack from Lidl

Still no camera. So frustrating. Luckily the flowers crocuses and primroses and daffodils are flowering without being photographed.
