We had our first rain in weeks overnight and it came down in buckets, leaving the green world all zingy and refreshed this morning. Heres a selection box of different flavoured aquilegia for my #SixOnSaturday this week, have a great weekend sky-folk 🌱 📷 #Bloomscrolling #MayBlooms #EastCoastKin

I’ve never been more happier sitting eating my breakfast whilst it rains outside. My #SixOnSaturday are Laburnum, Pinks, Virginia Spiderwort, Geranium, Peach-leaved Bellflower and Iris foetidissima Have a lovely weekend! 🌱 #Gardening #UKGardening #FlowerFeed #BloomScrolling

The week when we waited for rain #SixonSaturday #mylittlegarden ##GardeningFeed renaissancegd.medium.com/my-little-ga...

In today's #SixonSaturday ... a plush 'Persian Slipper' Lupin, 'Circus Clowns' Snapdragons, a California Poppy, a Dutch Iris & Weigela 'Florida Variegata' (and there are a few sneaky extras in the blog!) onemanandhisgardentrowel.wordpress.com/2025/05/24/s... 🌱

Gerty has produced her first flowers of 2025 & they smell wonderful #RoseWednesday 🌱

The white Diving Turtles plant (Bleeding Heart) has returned & fragrant Lily of the Valley has multiplied #GardensHour 🌱

The Big Border photographed last week. The Dutch Iris are still doing their irisy thing. I'm now waiting patiently for the tulip foliage to die back to create space of the annuals... #GardensHour 🌱

The Hesperis has multiplied a fair bit this year, seeding itself around the garden. The flowers smell wonderful in the evenings - almost like Pepsi/Coca-Cola #GardensHour 🌱

More often than not the selfseeders like Hesperis & Foxgloves do a better job than I do when it comes to plant placement/garden design #GardensHour 🌱

Another busy week is over and there’s so much in flower in the garden now. My #SixOnSaturday are a Deutzia, Bearded Iris, Rose, Campanula, Salvia and Trachycarpus Have a great weekend everyone! 🌱 #Gardening #UKGardening #FlowerFeed #BloomScrolling
