The Crocosmia Lucifer really come into its own as we head deeper into Summer. Can be thuggish and rhizomes need lifting and dividing but a lovely punchy display. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #summer #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

I love this dark leaved Heuchera (coral bells). Seems happy in sun or shade, great for near edge of border. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #summer #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

Love the delicate flowers of the Rosa Rugosa…but it can be thuggish, putting out runners. Considered invasive in the UK and not to be let loose in the wild. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

Dandelion head. Yes it’s a weed. But the flowers are great for pollinators and can we please admire the structure of the seed head! I still dig them out my flower beds! #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

The Solomon’s Seal (Polygonatum Multiflorum) currently looking resplendent - at least until sawfly caterpillar rapidly defoliates them. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

Snake's head fritillary - I guess we can say spring has most definitely arrived and hopefully frost has passed. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

I love the bright yellow flowers of the lesser celandine. Early flowering UK native wildflower, great for pollinators. Can spread but it’s gone by May as other plants take over. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #wildflower #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

The hyacinths are on the cusp of blooming. I’d forgotten I’d planted a lot of bulbs last year which are popping up all over the garden. Which is nice. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

For the first time in the UK, the rare and endangered Pseudohydrosme gabunensis from Gabon will bloom on display. Much like the famous Titan Arum, this elusive plant only flowers for a short time - but every bloom is a rare and important moment for conservation. Stay tuned for updates 🌿👀

Plant on display with a handwritten say saying that it's a 'Kew Highlight' and that it's the first time flowering in the UK. Surrounding the plant you can see some other plants in pots.

The flower remains tightly wrapped, showing its pale green, elongated spathe with a smooth texture. In a large black pot and surrounded by a black backdrop.

A cool spring walk found me in front of this display of daffodils, in the local park. A bright cheery reminder that the season is changing. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

Sunshine on the red stemmed Cornus (Dogwood). A good all round plant, structurally, but also offering blooms of white flowers and red stems that give a pop of colour in the grey winter. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

The buds of Lilac ‘Palabin” poised to burst into Spring joy. A hardy shrub moved and pruned to a multi-stem standard, the flowers deliver a delicate fragrance. Recommended. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

The Fatsia Japonica (Paperplant) is a great structural plant for the garden. Prefers Shade. Mine is nestled by a fence, surrounded by Ferns. A lush green corner, next to the decking, in spring and summer. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens

The first flowers of the Magnolia x Loebneri are starting to unfold. A perfect tree for a small garden like mine. It’s a slow grower but in 10 years I should be sitting under the shade of a 2 to 3 metre tree. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees

The arrival of Hellebores means Spring is upon us. I love these precious jewels, there nodding heads, a valuable source of nectar for early pollinators when very little else is available. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #bees

The RHS Bridgewater in North West England is always an inspirational place to visit. As the RHS’s newest garden, it is still relatively young but I enjoy seeing how it is developing and maturing. The Glasshouses in the walled gardens are fabulous & so lovely to have them to myself.
