This crown imperial has popped up unexpectedly. I love the colour. In a pot planted last year. Only one to survive. #Mygarden #Gardening

Heather providing sustenance for bees. At Wisley different varieties seemed more attractive than others. #Gardening #Bees

Visited Wisley yesterday. Haven't been for a while. We had a lovely day - beautiful, inspiring, and informative.

Inspired by RHS Wisley's Heather Landscape I want more Ericas in my woodland/heathland edge garden. Noted which ones had the most bees on them. Now to source them. #Gardening #MyGarden

Had a lovely day at RHS Wisley today. Photo of a striking colour combination. #Gardening

Friends and relations will be gifted the ones growing in the gravel of the drive.

Primroses lit up by spring sunshine. They proliferate happily around my woodland garden. #Gardenshour #Gardening #MyGarden

Spent a happy afternoon down and dirty, digging a muddy hole. Most enjoyable! #Gardening #Mygarden

Saw a Brimstone butterfly and Hairy Footed Flower bees on our primroses today. They move too fast so here's a photo of Charlie Cat sitting still on a primrose instead! #mygarden #Gardening #Cats #Spring

Garden waking up. Blooms popping out all over. First insects buzzing about. Saw the first Hairy Footed Flower bee yesterday. Lovely! #sixonsaturday #Mygarden #Gardening

Collage of six butterfly photographs in soft green light: a small tortoiseshell on pink oregano flowers, a peacock butterfly on lavender, a meadow brown on clover, a white butterfly on purple blooms, a red admiral on lavender, and another white butterfly among green stems.

A Chumash legend tells that when the Earth was created the Great Spirit adorned the dark mountains with small colourful stones. The South Wind, marvelling at their beauty, breathed life into them. They grew wings, fluttered away and became the first butterflies. #FolkloreThursday

There really is a lot of colour to be found in winter plantings like these at Kew Gardens. Lots of perfume around too. #Gardening

"Pixie" - the first blooms from last Autumn's bulb planting. Whoop! #Gardenhour #Gardening #Mygarden

Royal Botanic Garden Kew's orchid festival highlighting Chinese orchids. Visited today. Huge dragon - made out of plant material. #Gardening #Orchids #Kew

So enjoyed an afternoon of gardening today. Birds were singing and Spring was springing. #Gardening #Mygarden #Spring

Daffodils standing up resilient, despite being dirt spattered due to the incessant rain. Be more daffodil! #Gardening #Mygarden

Snowdrops are normal for February in Berkshire, UK. This year it is the sunshine that isn't!

Snowdrops and sunshine. I love my garden and the flow of delights through the year. #Gardenshour #Gardening #Mygarden

Two pink bergenia flower spikes snuggled down under an umbrella of their leaves. #Gardenshour #Gardening #mygarden

A glimmer of sunshine - at last! #Gardening

I am so lucky to have my garden to retreat to when times get tough. Good to be able to share it with others on here too. #Mygarden #Gardening

He was only a part time MP alongside his other jobs. Wokingham is well rid of him.

Bumble bees on a camellia and winter honeysuckle. Our honeybees have been seen, including on the snowdrops.

Good morning and welcome to tuna Tuesday

Never underestimate the little ways you include others.

Those quiet gestures can make someone feel noticed, seen, and truly cared for.

They may seem small to you,
but to someone else, they can mean everything.

Ruscifolia. The berries are almost pink.

Charlie Cat enjoying a lull in the rain! #cats #Caturday

Winter scent is such a pick-me-up. I have a mature Wintersweet - chimonathus praecox (centre right) and the red berried variety of sarccocca (discovered by Roy Lancaster I believe). #SixonSaturday #gardening #mygarden
