Blog

I blog about nature in the Norfolk countryside and about my wildlife garden. My blog blends digital photos with an analogue nature journal.

Nature journalling blends nature observation and citizen science with a written diariy or art journal to build a deeper connection with nature and cultivate curiosity, creativity and flow.

Winter Flowering Cherry Blossom

Prunus x subhirtella Autumnalis

Produces semi-double white flowers, some tinged with pink intermittently from November to March, opening from deep pink buds. Flowers are sometimes followed by small bitter fruit beloved by birds. It has been awarded the RHS plants for pollinators logo so is presumably good for overwintering and early spring insects. Native to Japan.
