goodbye may

























May was a slow starter with cold breezy gusts and plentiful rain, but thankfully the weather improved towards the end of the month. We were treated to a few days of actual, bona fide sunshine and what a difference the warmth made to the garden.

I could almost hear the plants breathe a sigh of relief as their buds became blossoms. I have managed to find purple, yellow, red, lilac, pink and white blooms. Almost a rainbow.

I couldn't resist including a dandelion clock. They are so beautiful.

I'm hoping the sun will continue to shine in June and that the garden will produce some more beauties. If the beautiful red sky we have tonight is anything to go by, maybe I might just get my wish.

Linking up with karin a fotografi.

    1. Hi Helen ... the flower on the right is called Tufted Vetch and is a wild pea ... it grows in the hedges here ... our garden borders meadows on three sides so we get a lot of wildflowers in the garden too ... it has lovely little tendrils and fuzzy texture where the pea pods form ... Bee xx

  3. Beautiful moodboard. I think it's so interesting when I see dandelions referred to as "clocks"; I've never heard anyone say that in the US.

  6. I think the flowers are even more welcome than ever this year (the weatherman has just declared it's been the coldest Spring for fifty years - no surprise there!) Lovely to see the colours coming through. Fancy your garden being bordered by meadows - it sounds wonderful x Jane

  12. Gorgeous! I love the bleeding hearts as well. I think I need to plant some for next year. I am feeling extremely envious of you now after reading "our garden borders meadow on three sides" -- what heaven! Mine borders six million other gardens and the only plants I get creeping in are endless drifts of bindweed and meadow grass from the rather derelict garden on one side, ha ha.
