A greater fritillary (my best guess is Great Spangled) on butterfly bush, Petersham, #Massachusetts.

Lots of different emotions today. Reached for calming music. Got Kate Campbell's, 'Moonpie Dreams' on. Thinking ahead to Spring without wanting to wish time away. I've planted about a hundred of these outside of my office window at home. This one was a solitary experiment last year to see if they would just be squirrel food or not! Feels nice to begin to imagine a new season in the garden. #fritillaries #gardening #spring #hope #gaygardener #springbulbs #katecampbell #moonpiedreams

Here’s a short video of Small Pearl-bordered #Fritillaries (Boloria selene) from this summer.
One of my favourites #butterflies: their brilliant orange colour as they flash by, low to the ground, always raises my spirits. We’re lucky that there’s a thriving population in a boggy area just 10 minutes drive from home, on the edge of the Forest of #Bowland.

Dear diary,
Planted daffs and alliums today.
Three patches daffs, two in grass and one in (2 years rotted) woodchip.
The alliums were two patches, one a mix of shades in grass, the other all purple sensation into shaded leafy soil.
Yet to plant 80 each of muscari and fritillaries ... not sure where yet but likely two drifts. The fritillaries will be temperamental. 1 in 10 of last autumn's appeared whereas the alliums were superb!
