Heathers at Emmetts Garden

Our visit to Emmetts last Sunday was not only a chance to get out for a walk in some sun, but it was also a chance to test out the camera on my new phone. And I was pretty pleased with the result, even though the title of this post keeps making me think of that film Heathers, rather than the plants.

They were one of the few plants showing colour, even the cyclamen weren’t out. I’m sure it won’t be long before there’s more springing to life, but for now it’s the heathers.

And how welcome are they?

These did remind me of the heathers at Compton Acres, though clearly not in as many numbers, which we visited in March a few years ago. It’s clearly the right time of year to be Heather spotting.
