A butterfly, ladybird & bee are playing plant charades. It's the bee's turn. After doing the whole words/syllables thing she simply stands there. Doesn't move at all. After several minutes the others admit defeat & ask "okay, what was it then?" She sighs. "Astilbe!" #Gardening

Miss Bateman is a beauty of a Clematis. Glad your bulbs eventually arrived. Yodel sent me a message to say they'd left mine in my designated safe place. I got home to find them on the doorstep.

My Little Garden 11th Oct 2025 I may have mentioned my annoyance with Yodel last week after they seemingly lost my tulip bulbs. They still hadn’t found them at the start of last week and after …

Sounds like a good plan. I usually wait and do all my bulbs in November but it is a slog #GardensHour

The first lot of bulbs have arrived in the post. Thankfully, just the tulips so far which means I can put off planting them until November! #GardensHour

Hold on to your hats it's a stormy old #SixOnSaturday today, completely misrepresenting the weather with pics taken in the occasional random sunny spell this week (see alt-text for details). Have a good (or at least safe) weekend everyone 🌱📷

#Bloomscrolling #Flowers #UKGardening #EastCoastKin
Quite possibly the last full sized bloom from the white and purple dahlia 'Tartan', the latest flower bud of echinacea 'sombrero salsa', verbena bonariensis carrying on regardless, geranium praetense flowering again for some reason, feverfew not stopping flowering for any reason and forget-me-nots and lillypads in a miniature pond that is now full to the brim!

The Calendula out the front are still flowering, but the other morning I was confused why some had a pink hue. I was rather excited, thinking I’d ended up with a new variety until I realised it was caused by the sun shining through one of the rear red lights of my car! #GardensHour 🌱
