Spring is really here, despite temperatures still fluctuating a fair bit. As you will see from the pics below, I had to dodge rain showers (they will get the weeds growing) to find six lovely things for this week’s #SixOnSaturday

First up this week, narcissi are all very much into full flower now. These orange-centred ones are lovely, but they nod their heads very low. I almost had to get underneath them to take a picture.

Just a few snake’s head fritillary grace my spring flower borders, but WHAT a flower, it is always hard to figure out how that tiny checker-board pattern evolved.

Some tiny species tulips, just a couple of cm across are fighting to flower against the onslaught of wind and rain. If it gets sunny enough they will open right out into a star shaped flower. I hope they do.

Much more robust, grape hyacinth have spread right through the garden and waive at me in the breeze, almost everywhere I look.

The first wall-flower of the season have pushed out a flower. this one fabulous colours, I hope there will be lots more.

Last this week are another gaggle of lovely narcissi, these are such a delicate yellow that they are almost cream coloured. The cold temperatures will make them last another couple of weeks I suspect.

It’s almost April, so veg time is coming VERY soon. Hope you liked the simple blooms still showing us it is early spring. Thanks to those leaving comments on the blog – sorry if I don’t always get back to you on time! The blog is going well, but it would be great if more folk on Mastodon, or other parts of the Fediverse got into tooting a Six! Go on, it’s a much kinder form of social media, not controlled by crazy billionaires. All you need to do is find 6 things in your garden to show us. Then post on social, or add a link at Jim’s blog below. For regulars, our organiser is Jim at https://gardenruminations.co.uk/. And I’m on mastodon @julie3dharris@mastodon.scot
