Here we are in the UK into our 5th week of isolation or perhaps its six, we are getting use to staying at home now, and I have been crafting, but I thought On Sunday as it was a nice day I would take a walk around the back garden. Tye last three days we have had rain, hopefully the nice weather will return.
Top is my Allium giganteum and the picture on the left is Sazifraga cocblearis
These are some of my Lily of the Valley I thought you would like to see them growing under the bush rather than in a Vase. As it the 1st May the French will have them in their homes today. When I had my florist shop I had a french lady come in and got very annoyed with me because I did not have any for sale, That year they were late flowering and there was none in the market, you cannot buy what is not in flower in a flower market.
This is a surprise, this pansy was from last year and I found it in one of the tubs a few weeks ago and here it is flowering, I thought I had lost them during the winter,
This plant I don't know what it is called but its a lovely pink flower and likes to flower up the top of the garden so I have left it, I do find a lot a small seeding from it, so I need to keep it in check, I don't want it all over the garden, In Sussex where i used to live they called it a weed, here in Somerset its a flower
This is Saxifraga urbium or London Pride, I only have this very small patch left and I had to look up its real name as its always been London Pride to me, apparently I have it in the wrong spot of the garden and needs to be in semi shade, so I will be moving it when it finishes flowering.
This photo looks white but its a very pretty pink flower called Aquilegia I also have some purple flowers ones, I think they are in the front garden.
and finally this is a flame of the forest the lily of valley type flowers are finishing and the new leaves come out in red then go pink and then into a nice fresh green colour.
Stay safe and well
Margaret
I love flowers and posts about them too. I think that weed one is some kind of butterfly balm but not sure I need to see close up. We get to go out little bit more.

ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see flowers in bloom! We don't have anything blooming yet. I'm hoping the weather will warm up soon. At least the grass is nice and green!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms Margaret, I love Lily of the valley, as a flower and perfume. Thanks for sharing your garden with us, Kate x
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks lovely, my lily of the valley is just popping up now. It seems to be a bit later in Scotland as its always about at the end of May as my Gran gave my Mum a bunch of it the day I was born. Ive loads of London Pride but didnt know its real name till just now, hope all is safe and well with you, Hazel xx
