Six on Saturday 23-5-26

All the lushness of late spring is here, and we’re due to finally have some warm weather this weekend yeh!!!!. Here are some of the amazing shapes made by plants in my garden for #SixOnSaturday

Green lushness of a perfect host (not yet attacked by slugs or snails, thank you to garden thrushes). What a wonderful plant to walk by, this once loves living on the edge of the pond.

A very odd plant, but one with so much interest in leaves and stem, is euphorbia. The colours and complexities here, when one looks close, is fabulous.

Back to some leafiness: ferns have been slow to develop in this year’s cold spring, but slowly they unfurl. This is my favourite time to view them.

The bluebells are doing their final mass show of the year before they seed everywhere and I race to dispose of the seeds before they take over completely. They do have such wonderful colour in the evening.

Also a wonderful woodland plant, cow parsley featured on Gardener’s World a week or too back, now it’s popping up of its own accord as spring progresses in eastern Scotland.

And last, always coming into full flower at the end of May, and this time showing off in the evening light, next to the westerly view (with just a peak at the ripe rapeseed field beyond. WOW, my most spectacular rhododendron.

A wonderful mix of satisfying colour and form this week, hope you enjoyed it. I love May, and I hope I have managed to spread some of the love through my photos this week.
