There is a garden full of flowers to choose from for this week’s #SixOnSaturday. I’m going for a pink six this week. Just a quickie as it’s too nice to stay inside. Still no rain!!

The most delicate pink in the garden must be this almost peach poppy, with huge plate-sized blooms.

Also pale and interesting is nigella, a shrub that has enjoyed the mild winter and dry spring here.

My first roses of the season are here. This one has a lovely honey scent.

Moving into the brighter pinks, the aquilegia are almost finished. This one fits the pink bill well.

Some ornamental thistles are also enjoying the dry sunny spell, and have a rich deep pink colour.

And who could end a pink-flower special without an actual ‘pink’. My first dianthus flower is out.

That’s my #SixOnSaturday this week. I hope you have some wonderful sunshine to enjoy gardens and green spaces too. But when will it rain? 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
