These beauties are beginning to flower in the spring sunshine. Poppy anemone and my first purple sprouting broccoli!

The annual battle of the bluetits vs tree sparrows has begun over prime nestbox real estate too.

Spring is definitely here, despite the frost.

The google says this is a Bluecrown Passionflower. I say it’s stunning. #garden #Scottishgarden #rurallife #Kilmaurs #botany #flowers #passionflower #travel

I've always wondered what bees do when it rains. Now I know that they apparently snuggle into and hide underneath the leaves of Sea Holly like this!

A little bunch collected from the garden on this sunny Wednesday ☀️ #flowers #scottishgarden

That's one happy frog chilling in our shady mini pond 🐸

Yellow rose bush blooming madly.

Slightly blurry picture of male Chaffinch on a fence.

Carrion Crow stomping around the garden path in front of the greenhouse.

The roses are blooming madly, and this little Chaffinch was yelling abuse at the Crow. #ScottishGarden

Close-up of a cluster of pink and green Astrantia flowers standing tall against a dreamy, heavily blurred background with soft, circular bokeh lights. The image has a magical, painterly feel.

Astrantia doing its delicate thing in the dappled light. The Helios 44 gives everything that signature swirl like a fairytale filtered through an old lens.

My first passionflower of the year has made an appearance. I planted this 3yrs ago on my South-West facing wall and its absolutely thrived. It needs trimmed regularly but flowers over and over again, all summer.

Colourful varieties of heathers, white and pink currently flowering in the foreground with a grey driveway behind.

My adventure into gardening begins.

First thing I've planted - different varieties of heathers that will flower at different times of year, so that there will always be colour.
