Today I took lots of pictures both in the allotment and in the home garden. But as some are on my phone from the allotments I will just upload the garden blossoms for today..
Well May is finally here, and today its been more like May weather with Sun shining, even though the wind has been quite strong, It at least got all the washing dry. No more hail thank goodness..
So today’s post is just about showing you what is in bloom at the moment in the garden. And for those who have a bluebell wood near them.. Its the ideal time to go and visit one. Some have been out earlier but here they are just about right for getting the full effect of their beauty in the woods..
So in no particular order I will put them in the mosaic and if you click on them it will take you into the picture slide show so you can read better what is beneath them.
I would also like to thank all new followers here too Welcome..It is wonderful to see the numbers rise.. So I hope you enjoy what you see and don’t be shy, I enjoy conversations and swapping gardening tips so please leave me your thoughts and I will get back to you and your blog when possible..
Happy Gardening and Enjoy all the blossoms within your own gardens and woodlands
I love pictures of flowers, Sue, and these are delightful. English bluebells are an absolute favourite of mine and we saw them flowering in a wood near Faversham and in Woodcote during our trip to the UK last year. I am so pleased you included a Rhododendron because I didn’t know what these were and now I do. We are coming to the UK in August and I am so excited.

All of this floral beauty must really be lifting your spirits Sue. What a magnificent collective of loveliness. I especially love the bluebells. We have them here and people complain about them and pull them out but I adore them and would rather have bluebells than vinca and forget-me-nots any day! Gorgeous post Sue full of happiness 🙂

Very pretty Sue. And is reminding me to go for a walk in a forest somewhere, something I haven’t done for a while. A ‘re-connection’ is required I think 😀

Sue , my jasmine is on bloom and growing so wild it will soon corner my entire back fencing. It snarls amazing at night but I am going to have to cut it back and that won’t be easy all entwined in the fence ! Have a happy day Sue 🙂 ❤

🙂 sounds beautiful Holly.. and mine has doubled in size and is in a pot with a climbing frame.. that I had to extent.. So It may have to go on a sheltered fence if it doubles again this year.. I protected from frost with bubble wrap this winter.. And yes the evening scent is when its at its best.. 🙂

That little hanging fish adds such whimsy! It surely brightens anyone’s day!
The flowers are all lovely! I might live where the exotic tropicals grace any garden, but those spring-blooming beauties are hard to beat – and are worth the wait!

Beautiful Sue. Looks as if you are about a month behind us in the blooming of trees and flowers. Loved the first photo of the bluebells in the woods. Your apple blossoms are gorgeous. I took a lot of apple blossoms photos here in early April. Spring is so wonderful. Have a Happy Weekend Sue. xoxo

Much too early to even put in my garden yet, but will do by Victoria Day, which is just past mid May … it’s getting warmer here, friend Sue … was plus 23C today … smiles … I did start your Chinese lantern seeds indoors, but sadly my cat Theo thought they were quite yummy to eat … ya … anyway … Much love as always, cat.
