UK. I enjoy cats, language, toleration, flowers, wine... Sceptical of religion and most things ending in -ism, and I dislike billionaires on principle.
Appalled by the global rise in general nastiness. Uninvited DMs get you blocked.
Apologies to the sensitive: photo of dead bird below. Adding blank lines so it doesn't show immediately in the thread.

Something in the amaryllis family it seems... a bargain bulb from some months back has come good!

I needed a one-plant raised bed, for a courgette in a floral bed. I have a few bricks and considered them. But there are slugs... I wanted a neat little copper collar, but my junk-store couldn't oblige. So I went with aluminium. I hope the slugs hate it ;)

As I have to be at my desk today, I brought a bit of 🌱garden inside to keep me company.

This, oh people of the sky, is the remains of a scrambled egg.
It was a Cadbury Creme egg, grown old and oozy; now it is a pleasing cross between caramel and fudge.

Slightly cheesy butter from somewhat soured cream. I'd forgotten how much I like a cheesy butter.

I can't manage the aria, but I can grow the tulip.

🌱 Driving around chunks of Scotland last week, I marvelled at the areas covered with beautiful bluebells. All looked like natives. Meanwhile, I am trying to remove bluebells from my back garden because I'm pretty sure these ones are Spanish.

🌱 I have company. Not sure what their destiny is but I hope it isn't achieved at too high a cost for my plants..

Thought I should get a photo before that winds strip everything.

Wallflowers are under-appreciated.

Have a flowery and fragrant Friday. 🌱

Iris reticulata, crocus, and a splash of primula.

What's up? Irises. What's down, a peacock butterfly.

🌱 After a bit of premature flowering, my little irises are now up and blooming.
