Many light green fronds of a Tree Fern
Close up of the top of the Tree Fern. Small new fronds are showing in the middle with last years growth above.
🌱Our Tree Fern made it through another winter and has plenty of new growth. We unwrapped it on Monday. Has had a feed. The fronds and trunk will be misted every day.🌱 #gardening #bloomscrolling #treefern
The picture shows Bladder Campion flowers and buds against a green, background, (foliage). The flowers have white petals and pink patterned bladders behind each flower.

A single White Campion flower with buds against a green background.
If you love Moths, grow some Campions in your garden 🦋
Red Campion, (which is pink 😊), White Campion and Bladder Campion, (both white) all provide food for adult moths and some of their caterpillars 🐛

A conservation measure aimed at reversing the decline in the curlew population has yielded a breakthrough as the first recorded instance of a 'headstarted' curlew that has established a breeding territory has been identified
As your seedlings germinate and start to grow, it’s worth getting ready to potentially pot them on to larger pots.
Here is a short video I made demonstrating how to do this:

A European Robin stands, its distinctive red/orange bib profiled, in the shade on a low brick retaining wall in front of a border containing a sunlit purple Tulip, green leaves and a taller pink Tulip.
For Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Petals&Perches I have my new #Robin on his second visit to the garden plus #Tulips that my lovely wife helped plant in our garden last year for #Parkinsons Awareness Month but did not live to see.

Thank you Rob.
She was such a gift to the world and still sadly missed. The Ballad of Barry and Freda is a classic, "spank me on the bottom with a Woman's Weekly"!
Blackbird in grass with dandelions spread around. She has a couple of Worms in her beak.
Back view of the Blackbird in grass with dandelions and a post in the background. She has Worms in her beak.
Lovely shots. The other half caught a few pics yesterday of a Blackbird foraging for worms. #birdoftheday #comeeatwithme
If that idiot knew anything about history he would know that the destruction of civilian infrastructure did not become a War Crime until after WWII. They cannot use the bombing of cities then as an excuse for their actions now.
The Dear Leader has just heard about the Holy See, he's ordered the Navy there immediately to blockade it!
Collage picture of flowers from the garden including white and pale pink rhododendron, shocking pink osteospermum (with different coloured centres of blue, pink and yellow), pale mauve oxalis and a pinkish white cuckoo flower.
Getting brighter!

Research suggests that protecting/enhancing existing #hedgerows with early blooming species like #willow, hawthorn, ground ivy, red dead-nettle, maple & cherry could improve bumblebee colony success rate from 35-100%.

Very much a spring themed #SixOnSaturday, but with a hint of the summer approaching. We have Tulips, Cherry Blossom, Bluebells and the first Rose flower.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Little can rival an old Scots pine for sheer force of personality and presence.
One of the earlier tree species to colonise Ireland after the last Ice Age, pine was thought to have completely died out due to deforestation, until a small residual population was confirmed in the Burren, Co. Clare.
Six pics from my garden this week, a nearly fully formed aquilegia flower bud, (looking like the eagles talons from which it gets its name), red wallflowers, white starbursts of wild garlic, a red and white vampire tulip, variagated green hosta foliage and the first red saxifrage flower. Thanks for reading.
Morning all, ah the sweetness of spring, after months of struggling to find #SixOnSaturday to share from my garden, suddenly the difficulty becomes "which six?" Have a good weekend sky-folk 🌱

A collage of six pictures from my tiny garden this week. The large picture is a bright pink Azalea. The small pictures are white flowers and shiny green leaves of Christa ternata, one of the last tulips, a beautiful apricot colour, white flowers of Iberis, apple blossom from an ancient tree which was in the garden when I moved in and the lime green of Smyrmium perfoliata.

I have had the opportunity to spend time in my tiny garden this week and that’s where I will be today.
Collage of 6 flowers: purple honesty, yellow viola, purple violet, yellow poppy, blue forgetmenots, fluffy dandelion seed head
It's the time of year when all the selfseeded flowers start appearing in my garden. I don't know why I bother growing anything else. Honesty, violas, wild violets, Welsh poppies, forgetmenots, dandelion clock #SixOnSaturday
The simple joys of nature, something money can never buy.
I agree with him. Heating oil and inhaling it into your lungs has to be safer! Now, where did I put my Tinfoil hat.
Now it adds a whole new meaning to getting stoned!
As a European, I wish I could stop and comment more but I have to go off for compulsory prayers at the local Mosque!!!
Dog's have more soul and intelligence than many people these days. Sweet dreams Lena.
Two photos of bluebells posted side by side. They look very similar but text boxes and arrows highlight their key characteristics. The photo on the left is of English bluebells wth curved, droopy stems with flowers mostly on one side. The tips of petals curl back, the flowers are narrow and deep blue-violet in colour. The photo on the right is of Spanish bluebells which are pale blue with wide bell-shaped flowers. Flower tips flare out and the upright stems display flowers on all sides.
Are you able to identify which bluebells are the native English variety and which are the more vigorous Spanish bluebell? This might help.
Also, use your nose. The English bluebells have a sweet scent, whereas their Spanish cousins have little to no scent.
It is a truly wonderful film that I've watched many times. The scene where Catherine Johnson, brilliantly played by Taraji P Henson, confronts Mr Harrison over toilet breaks gets the hair on the back of my neck standing up each time I watch it.
This week’s #SixOnSaturday really highlights how much the gardens are starting to come alive. We have a couple more Tulips, Bergenia, a Bee feeding off a Choiysa, Lilac and Cherry Blossom.
Have a great weekend all!

If Orban does win, I believe we need to remove Hungary from the EU. Let putin and trump look after it.
Rewilding farmland, soon after the trees spring up unplanted, a host of wildflowers and other ground flora move in, like this wood sorrel. Then come the insects, followed by birds and other animals.
It's all just so beautiful, and so *hopeful*.
You are very welcome. Haven't seen better
How can she be a "champion for these women" when, according to her husband, it's all a hoax?!
