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 🌱

The image shows a cluster of white bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) in full bloom. The delicate, bell-shaped flowers hang in small groups from slender green stems, their petals curling slightly outward at the tips. Key Visual Details: • Flowers: The primary focus is on several stalks of bright white blossoms. At the bottom of the frame, there is a small splash of color from a few vibrant purple bluebells, creating a nice contrast. • Foliage: Long, blade-like green leaves rise vertically through the composition, appearing smooth and healthy. • Background: The ground is covered in a natural carpet of brown, dried oak leaves and organic forest floor debris, which makes the white and green of the living plants pop. • Composition: The shot is a medium close-up, capturing the flowers at a slightly downward angle, emphasizing their drooping, "nodding" habit. The overall feel of the photo is serene and indicative of a classic British woodland scene in mid-spring.
Good morning Bluesky Folks
Since you liked my picture of some white bluebells yesterday here’s another one. It was captured on a Canon EOS R50.

The picture features a close-up of a vibrant Common Lilac (Syringa vulgaris) branch in the early stages of blooming. Visual Highlights • The Blooms: The central focus is a dense, conical cluster of flower buds in a deep magenta or wine-purple hue. While most of the flowers are still tightly closed, rounded buds, a few four-petaled blossoms have begun to unfurl, revealing a softer lavender-pink interior. • The Foliage: The flowers are framed by bright, heart-shaped green leaves. The leaves appear smooth and matte, typical of lilac bushes in mid-spring. • Composition: The branch extends diagonally from the upper left toward the lower right. The background consists of a soft, out-of-focus blur of green grass and other shrubbery, which makes the rich color of the buds pop. Details & Texture The texture of the buds is particularly striking—they look like tiny, waxy beads clustered together. Lilacs like this are famous for their heavy, sweet fragrance, which is usually strongest just as these buds begin to open fully. It looks like a perfect snapshot of spring reaching its peak!
Good Goodnight Bluesky!

My century plant has grown a pup and I'm planting it in a big pot today!

Love epimediums. They are so good for that dry shady area that not much will grow and I have a few big clumps of them. Gorgeous foliage and lovely flowers in spring. Will often form big drifts or clumps. This is the latest going in my garden called “Pretty in Pink” #gardensky #plantsky #flowersky

A small to medium size cactus (no ID but looks like a Trichocereus Lobivia hybrid) with many yellow flowers planted in a xeriscape garden
I have a lot of blooming #cactus for #PlantSky #BloomScrolling this week 💛
An Echinopsis torch cactus. The lower flowers are still only partially open and the rest will follow within 1-2 days. They're white with yellow centers. It's in a succulent garden.
This is the third year in the garden for this Torch cactus. It's really thrived in this location and is rewarding me with more flowers than last year. The first few have opened and will last 2-3 days. 🌵

This image captures a cluster of White Bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta alba) in a natural woodland setting. Key Details • Flowers: Several delicate, bell-shaped white blossoms hang from slender, bright green stems. The petals are slightly recurved at the tips, giving them a graceful, nodding appearance. • Foliage: Long, narrow, sword-like green leaves emerge from the base, framing the flowers. • Background: The forest floor is visible in the soft-focus background, covered in a carpet of dry, brown fallen leaves and hints of other emerging green plants, which makes the bright white of the flowers pop. These plants are a relatively rare color variation of the common bluebell and are often found scattered within larger drifts of the traditional violet-blue flowers during the spring months.
Good Afternoon BlueSky Folks!

Love feeding the birds in the garden and provided a dozen feeders which I make sure are always got food in.
Don’t love the amount of grass seed I’m having to use to reseed the bare patches in my lawn after scarifying it. The pigeons are feasting #gardensky #plantsky #UKGardening
A view of the architecture of the Kew Gardens Palm House. In front of me is a raised bed with a line of pillars supporting part of the glass roof running down the middle. Ordinarily these would be largely obscured by foliage, but the plot has been emptied in anticipation of the 2027 closure for renovation. In the background another section is still full of foliage and a staircase up to the raised walkway is visible.

It looks like the emptying of the Palm House has begun in earnest 😔 I knew it was coming; they've been moving plants to a temporary greenhouse for months, ahead of 2027 closure for renovation.

The photograph features a cluster of small, vibrant light-blue flowers, commonly known as Forget-me-nots (Myosotis). Key Visual Elements: • Flowers: The petals are a soft sky blue with tiny yellow centers (eyes), growing in delicate, slightly curved clusters at the tips of the stems. • Foliage: The plant has elongated, oval-shaped green leaves that appear slightly fuzzy or textured. • Setting: The plant is growing directly from dark, moist-looking soil. Scattered around the base are bits of organic debris, a few small stones, and a single small piece of red brick or terracotta. • Composition: The shot is a medium close-up, showing the plant from a slightly elevated side angle. The background is a mix of darker earth and other green garden plants, which are slightly out of focus, making the blue flowers stand out. The overall feel is that of a natural, perhaps slightly wild, garden corner in the springtime.
Good Morning Beautiful souls of the Blue!
Here’s a picture of a single forget-me-not I snapped yesterday on my usual walk. It was captured on a Canon EOS R50.

This image features a single, vibrant bluebell plant in full bloom, standing out against a rustic, woodland-style background. The Focal Point At the center of the frame is a tall, sturdy green stalk supporting several bell-shaped lavender-blue flowers. The blossoms are clustered primarily toward the top, with some individual bells drooping gracefully downward. At the base, the plant has long, broad, waxy green leaves that spread out in a star-like pattern across the ground. Background and Surrounding Environment • Ivy and Foliage: Behind the bluebell, a thick wall of dark green ivy leaves climbs up a bank or wall. Several smaller, bright green weeds and sprouts (resembling ground ivy or chickweed) are scattered around the base of the main plant. • Ground Texture: The soil is a mix of dark earth, small grey pebbles, and dried organic matter like twigs and brown leaves. • Unique Details: On the left side, there is a weathered, rusty metal object—possibly an old tin can—half-buried in the soil, which adds a "found in nature" or garden-edge feel to the scene. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the delicate texture of the petals and the glossy sheen on the leaves.
Good Evening and Goodnight Bluesky Folks!

A mass of frilly pink ornamental cherry blossoms, against a pale blue sky. A lamp post, house, and part of a car peep through the branches on the right, adding scale to how large the tree really is.
Peak #cherryblossom season up here, finally.
This was in a neighbour's garden, in the street below mine.

This photo captures a vibrant cluster of tulips in a garden setting, highlighting a striking contrast between the flowers and their lush green surroundings. Key Features • The Flowers: The focal point consists of two large, open tulips with a dramatic "flame" pattern—deep red at the base of the petals transitioning into a bright, golden yellow at the edges. • Supporting Blooms: To the left, a smaller, slender tulip shows softer orange and pink tones. Tucked behind the main duo is another red-and-yellow bud just beginning to open. • Greenery: Long, blade-like green leaves crisscross the foreground and background, creating a sense of depth. In the soft-focus background, you can see hints of other garden plants and a few tiny blue flowers. • Composition: The shot uses a shallow depth of field, keeping the central tulips in sharp focus while the background remains a soft, mottled green and purple blur. The lighting is soft and even, typical of a bright but overcast day. It’s a classic springtime scene that emphasizes the bold, geometric beauty of the tulips against the organic chaos of the garden.
Good Afternoon bluesky
My apologies for missing my morning post; I couldn’t log in. Here’s a photo of some tulips I spotted yesterday, taken with my Canon EOS R50.

Popped into a garden centre earlier after the optician and bought a load of bedding plants for my hanging baskets. Got stuff I grew from seed too. Just wondering whether it’s too early. Don’t want to be hit with a late frost and lose it all #gardensky #UKGardening #plantsky #flowersky
