With very little flowering in my garden recently, I took a two week break over the festive period.
So what plants are waving hello today?
Starting with this lovely vibrant pink Hyacinth, just one from a bowl given to me as a festive gift. The others are slowly emerging.
Second photo goes to this white variety of Jasmine. This was given to my husband two years ago for his April birthday when it was in full bloom. I have taken a successful cutting of it. Neither flowered last year, but now both are budding up this January.
Third photo is of some ‘mystery’ bulbs shooting up. My best guess is that they are bluebells, but as that is quite early, they may be Hyacinths. I can’t remember where I planted everything, so they will be a surprise when they flower.
Not far away from the mystery bulbs, the flowering currant is forming buds.
Fifth photo goes to the yellow winter Jasmine which is brightening up a wooden fence.
Lastly is a wonderfully ‘out of focus’😏Polyanthus in my favourite purple colour.
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

They have been planted early and kept indoors for early flowering.

Thank you Harriet. Mystery plants can be fun, last year some runner bean plants over-wintered and grew roots making them look like dahlia tubers. They were a surprise too!

My bet’s also on Hyacinth…live that yellow Jasmine!

You are probably right, I just can’t remember what is planted where at times.

Mystery bulbs sound fun! Love the winter jasmine. We have those growing in the yard if a house near our office and I love their festive yellow. Sherry

The mystery bulbs do look like hyacinths, I must admit I get quite excited when I see bulbs popping up. My winter jasmine is flowering this year, but it’s not very fast growing!

A lovely colourful collection, very cheerful. For the mystery bulbs I thought maybe Bluebells? So they’re probably Hyacinths😂

Beautiful ⚘ It’s clever of you to grow your own jasmine. Does your yellow winter jasmine have a scent? The bulbs look like bluebells. 🌸

Thank you, the yellow jasmine doesn’t have a scent that I notice.

You have a fair amount of color in your garden! Is the winter Jasmine scented? I’d love to grow Jasmine but I’m sure it isn’t warm enough here for it to be happy.
