Retired mum & grandma. My garden gives me so much pleasure & especially with all the visiting wildlife. 🦋🐝🐞 🏴🇬🇧
My little garden, where I like to potter. 😁☕️
I hope we get a shower of rain sometime. The plants would really enjoy that. But some flowers are still hanging on. I hope you have a good rest of the week. 🌸🌻🐝🦋🌼

This is how daises spread in the lawn. 9 little plants from one centre. I've not seen that before. No wonder I've got lots 🙄 - and lots of clover, but the bees enjoy that, so that's ok. 🌱 No chemicals used here. 🌸🐝

It seems to be a good year for Clematis. This one's in full flower and enjoying the sunshine. I did plant it next to a pale pink one, but I think that ones given up. 🤔🩷💜

It's a cold grey day today.
I've just been to my local park for a short walk and looked for some flowers for you.. 🌱
It's great to see signs of life. The big bank of snowdrops was starting to flower too. 😊👌🤍

It was a lovely day today for a short walk on the coast path. 😎
It really lifted the spirits.
[The fact that I'm able to walk for >10min now, after having long covid for 4 yrs, is just brilliant!] 🥳🥳🥳
I hope you all had a good day too. 😊

Oh wow Fiona, how gorgeous! I've got a few different ones, but only the double white is stirring - and a seedling. Looking forward to them all flowering. 😀🌸👌

It may be a dull, cool November day, but I was pleased to still see some flowers hanging on in the garden. I hope you have a good day whatever you're doing! It's more raking leaves for me, but at least its dry! 😀👍Take care. 😊🌸🌿🍁🍂☕️🌱

If you'd like bees in your garden grow Marjoram! Mine has always got bees on it (except when I took the photo, of course). Here is some of mine, together with a sedum. Food for butterflies & bees.
What do you grow for them? 🌸🦋🐝 Lavender? VERONICS? 🌱

My first dahlia. 😀
I'm sorry I don't know the name of it. It was pink when I bought it last year and this year it's more white. 🤔 I split the tuber in spring and now have 3 plants. 👏🌸 Bees like the single ones too. (I always think of the bees) 🩷🩷🩷🐝🐝

I'd love to set traps myself but don't know what to do. I try and grow plants for wildlife but apart from Evening Primrose I'm not sure which plants moths like either. Honeysuckle maybe? Evening scents I guess. Anyway hope you post your finds. Heres one of mine this week...a little tiny one. 😁👍

I thought I'd enjoy my Hellebores indoors. 😀💕🌷💕🌷
I'll be sad to see them finish, but It's lovely to see all the plants growing in the garden.
Happy 1st day of April everyone! 🩷
