Show Us Your Pictures 6

[AnneKipankitoo]

To continue into Spring 2022.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how many pictures I will be able to supply this year . Some builders are in building an extension for me .
I might have to live off all your lovely photos. Keep them coming!💐

Beautiful! I used to have irises in my previous garden... can't really recall them needing any special care, they just did their thing!

@Pottedpalm
Lovely tulips
@AnneKipankitoo
Good job with second flowering , don't think if ever managed that.

@Thighdentitycrisis

Those irises look awesome
What a amazing colour
Looks like you're doing everything right - mine usually fall over ha.

@Pottedpalm What a gorgeous tulip display...so cheerful...and are those little red flowers in pot on the right called English daisies?

Tulip

What gorgeous pictures - I love the the colours of those tulips and the amaryllis.

I took this on the way to work in central London - a long bank of grass and flowers along the Mall. So pretty.

Thank you! The pots are in my white garden but I love the vibrant spring colours of tulips.
will replace with white lilies and agapanthus later.
I don’t know what the daisies are , sorry! 🙂

Have updated the mn app and am finding adding photos much easier! Here are a few of the garden now, in another thread someone said they hate Honesty and pull it out 😱 I think it's beautiful and have seen all sorts of pollinators on it 😊

I'm painting the garden fence this weekend, what are peoples thoughts on this look?

I think I would prefer one colour. Probably the blue one.
Lovely flowers.
I deleted the app ages ago.

Would also say maybe one of the blues both are very nice though Girlfriendlikespuppies. Like the contrast with the pink plant...

Did a bit of planting up my baskets and tubs yesterday so nice to get out in the garden again...

Not sure what it is but the colour is lovely

Geranium vs bluebell (Spanish I think).

And my lovely shady corner. No holes on the hosta leaves yet ...

I love honesty too. Tried and failed growing it from seed in one area... Found a solitary plant in the other end of the garden this spring which I'm hoping spreads itself out a bit.

Have bought two more packs of seeds to have another go at getting it round the woodland garden.

Also found some forget me not (also hated on the thread you were talking about) in the woodland area so also hope they spread around a bit more.

I have a sprawling rural garden so anything that self seeds itself around (away from the borders) and isn't a nettle, dock, hogsweed, ground elder, thistle, willowherb or mares tail (of which we have masses) is very very welcome.

Sorry ignored your advice and went with stripes 😂 I know it might not be everyone's cup of tea but I really love it 😍

This is the front of my garden, I've forgotten the name of the white plant but it puts on an amazing display every year, looks lovely with the Honesty around it as well. It also smells amazing.

Looks good @Girliefriendlikespuppies

so happy with tulips this year.

Gorgeous @Fleetheart

Tulips

Argh ! Nope … still not posting pics

Not sure what these are... (sorry @MereDintofPandiculation ...) but they are rising above the other perennials and I'm sure they glow in the dark in the evenings!

@KingscoteStaff

That looks like White Campion, Silene latifolia. Check when the time comes that the teeth on the seed capsule are erect

There's a possibility that it's the white form of Silene dioica, Red Campion. If so, the capsule teeth will be rolled back, not erect. Since the white form of Red Campion is in effect an albino, it lacks anthocyanins throughout the plant (anthocyanins are the chemical that produce both the pink and blue colours in the forget-me-not/lungwort family, and in red berries like raspberry, which is why the juice will turn blue once you add washing up liquid to it). Your plant seems to have a purple tinge on the sepals behind the flower, there it does not seem to lack anthocyanins, which points to S latifolia - but you're in a better position than me to judge!

A lovely plant to have - good value, long flowering period.

Interesting that you say it seems to glow in the dark - several of the Silene and related Lychnis are evening flowerers, designed to be pollinated by moths, and so have colours that show up in evening light.

All this rain and sun is bringing the flowers on.

I’ll try again

That’s a no then 😂
