Wind and rain have played havoc with my washing schedules this week, but in the garden, flowers are blooming even if it is just here and there. I’ve also been joining in with the #AlphabettyBlooms hashtag on Twitter. Do look it up for pictures of lots of lovely flowers.
First photo goes to the bright and cheery Hawthorne berries. While preparing this post, I looked back at my photos of the froth of white flowers that this plant produced many months ago.
Second photo is of the Rock Roses. This white one has performed for months, where its pink cousin has been sporadic this year.
Third photo is of an everlasting Geranium that I found sheltering under a bush.
Forth photo goes to the tiny pink clumps of flowers on the Spiraea which have come back after dead-heading the main flush. Sorry about the quality of the photo, but the wind decided to play with the bush as I took my pictures.
Next is a Scabious (can you see the ant on the flower head?) I’m not sure where this one came from, it may have been one of the wild seeds.
Lastly are the first blue flowers on the Ceanothus, It feels quite early as I was also talking about it last January in a post.
Thank you for joining me for this #SixOnSaturday post. I hope that you enjoyed it. Jim is now our host for this gardening meme and you can find his blog here where you will be able to catch up with links from all the other folks who take part.
Happy gardening
Rosie

Lots still flowering there. My Ceanothus usually flowers in April, although I noticed a few the other day on it, and the Escallonia. Scabious are lovely.

It has been an odd year for some flowers.

The wind does make taking outdoor flower photos difficult. It is like finding treasure to find a bloom appearing in a sheltered spot.

I think the wind laughs when it sees me head out with my camera!

I have just been watching a bumble bee on my Mahonia, some bumble bees no longer hibernate. Climate change!

You’ve found plenty of interest to feature there, Rosie. Some flowers are real troopers despite inclement weather. The alphabetty blooms hashtag is one I’ve seen on Twitter but not yet joined in. Looks a good way to celebrate our plants and gardens.

The Ceanothus does seem to think it’s Spring. The Portuguese Laurel in my garden is flowering too. Your photos look fine – but I know that wind does seem to appear when we are taking our SOS snaps.

Lovely colours, as usual. Those berries should attract the birds.
