This week, I’m not around. I’ve left my partner in charge of the garden. but I did remember to look at some lovely blooms before I left. Here they are for #SixOnSaturday This time pinks to purples again, it’s a colour theme I love.
The very palest pink comes first. My edible quince tree flowers really well each year. Usually almost all the blossoms drop off and I get very few fruit. Maybe the bed is a bit too dry?

Clematis montana is next. last week, the white ones were out. This week the pink blooming plants have enjoyed the sunshine and burst forth.

Now, aquilegia seems early this year, and the pink ones have come out first. This one has a good large solid flower, with lots of intricate form.

Now more pink than purple, close to end of it’s season, pulmonary has been really magnificent this year, blooming through the direct of our endless wet winter, and still having a go now.

My favourite plant of the moment, in the pond edge, right in the mud, are wonderful candelabra primula. I planted one plant a few years ago: look at them now.

Last for this week, rolling right round into purple. These hardy cornflower pop up all over the garden, they will flower for months and months if I remember to cut them back!

Ahhhh, look at all that wonderful colour. I love May, and I hope I have managed to spread some of the love through my photos this week. I hoped you enjoyed sharing my spring #SixOnSaturday.
