Ilkeston - Spring Is Springing
w/e 17 March 2024
All of this week's pictures were taken with a Nikon D3300

It's been another dull, wet and cloudy week so when Saturday morning dawned bright and clear, it just begged to be taken advantage of and the flowers certainly look a lot better in the sunshine.

Park Cemetery

Two circular beds at the entrance to Park Cemetery are filled with daffodils and will only look better as more begin to flower.

Daffodils

The bed of daffodils on Chaucer Old Park seems to have benefited from being planted much closer together than those in the cemetery.

Daisies

It's not only daffodils that are flowering, daisies are flowering too.

Bath Street

And as well as spring flowers, the blossom on the trees are adding colour to their surroundings like this row of four outside the Albion Centre on Bath Street.

Memorial Garden

Hundreds of dwarf tête-à-tête daffodils are lining both sides of the steps into the Memorial Garden off the Market Place.

Market Stall

And being as it's a Saturday, the plant stall on the Market Place is adding more colour with a variety of different plants.

College Grounds

More daffodils are enhancing the grounds of the Derby Community College in Pimlico.

Oakwell Drive

And even more yellow daffodils on the bank at the car park off Oakwell Drive contrast with the red of the post box on the other side of the road.

Chalons Way Island

There is also a variety of crocuses and primulas accompanying the daffodils on the five bed island at the southern end of Chalons Way.

Magnolia

The delicate flowers on magnolia trees can also be seen around the town but as the morning progressed, the cloud cover increased and rain arrived again in the afternoon. Hopefully we don't get a cold snap any time soon or many of these plants will suffer but it's worth bearing in mind that about this time last year, we had snow!
