The Old English word for flower was blossom,which is still used today, but refers especially to the flowers of edible fruit trees, and not to the whole flowering plant.
Blossom.. 🌱😁👌

The nice thing about our rather random approach to gardening is that it's also random which flowers we can cut for the house each year 😁🌱

Key Characteristics of Native Bluebells: Appearance: Drooping, one-sided spikes (inflorescence) with narrow, tubular, intense violet-blue flowers (rarely white) with tips curled back. Foliage: Narrow leaves, typically 1–1.5cm wide. Scent: Strong, sweet scent. Pollen: Creamy-white. Habitat: Ancient woodlands, shady areas, and woodland edges. Conservation and Protection: Protected Species: Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is illegal to intentionally pick, uproot, or destroy wild native bluebells. Threats: The primary threat is hybridization with the Spanish bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica), which has broader leaves, paler blue/pink flowers, upright stems, and unscented flowers. Conservation: To protect them, visitors should stay on designated paths, as trampling can kill the bulbs over time.
Bluebells everywhere at the moment. 🌱👌

Similar in looks to the much-loved snowdrop, but larger in stature and flowering a couple of months later, Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant' is an elegant plant that produces large white bell-shaped flowers, each with green tips to the pointed petals.
First time I've grown these bulbs. From Farmer Gracy.

'One Direction'. These classically shaped tulips come in the delicious colours of a vanilla and raspberry ripple ice-cream. Each one is its own unique confection, as if drizzled, striped and dotted individually with syrup at the ice-cream parlour. Alone, each one is interesting and unique; together, they make a harmonious and mouthwatering display! From Farmer Gracy.

I am conscious that I should be posting a blue flower today 🩵. I got a little distracted yesterday with work!
Here we are then! Wellington Botanical Gardens the Hydrangea valley 🇳🇿 I believe it's called Chinese Quinine or Dichroa febrifuga.

"Underneath the living flowers..." 🌱 Rossetti’s words hit differently during the April surge. While we focus on the blooms, the real work is happening in the quiet dark of the soil. A reminder to nurture the roots as much as the petals. 🌷✨ #GardenFeed #LivingSculptures #Rossetti
