Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that each new season seems to especially favour some species of flower? This year, it seems to be magnolias, cherries and daffodils that are particularly splendid. Perivale park does not have any magnolias or cherries, but it certainly has a nice display of daffodils in the orchard area – thanks to volunteers who planted them last year.
I guess the ambition would be to plant some cherries at a suitable location. Perhaps again in the orchard? An old tree there was recently chopped down because it had died and become unsafe – should a new cherry take its place? As for the orchard, we hope an equally stunning display of tulips is about to come, followed by Cosmos in the autumn.
