Pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris) has one tiny bloom which was difficult to photograph since it nods.
Comfrey (Symphytum sp.) blooming looks pretty next to my spirea 'Magic Carpet'.
In the shade, this variegated Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum')
is sprouting and white Bleeding Heart (Dicentra alba) is blooming.
Doing lots of staring at the ground lately trying to distinguish self-sowing annuals from weed seedlings. Dark leaved Amaranth (Amaranthus hypocondriacus) drops millions of seeds which will have to be thinned to just a few plants. I love Larkspur (Consolida regalis) below, but editing will also be necessary.
Boo hoo! My holly croaked!
Sorry about the holly!
We're seedling sorting here too - picking through all the bounty that that the wild garden at number 18 has blown our way.
Feel free to throw some of those amaranth seeds i over the gate at number 20! We're looking very green here and could do with that amazing dark purple!
