I grouped all the pots of bulbs that I couldn't get round to planting out, at least I can see them now

That looks beautiful grindle, lovely to see them altogether & they make a feature of your steps there.

The wisteria over the patio is looking stunning here at the moment, I found a cutting in the greenhouse from the magazine where I'd ordered the original tiny free plant of it from 2006 when I was clearing out the greenhouse, the plant lived in a pot in our old garden until we moved here in 2014 & I eventually planted it out about 7 years ago so it's done well. We've also got Lily-of-the-Valley out now in the front garden, it seems to like self-seeding into the gravel in front of the border it started in. & a lilac seems to have self-seeded from somewhere into the border by the front gate, I'm wondering if it will survive if I dig it out & pot it up or plant it elsewhere as I'd like to keep it but it's appeared in the wrong place?

I love your Wisteria, @sue! It has lovely flowers! You've done really well to get it to flower again! The Lily of the Valley also looks great! I don't seem to have had any luck with the pieces I was given last year. They haven't appeared this year in the big square pot I put them in.

thanks SueA I love your Wisteria and Lily of the Valley, it doesn't seem to like my garden, I gave up trying but I'm going to try Eli's tip and grow some in a pot next year

I have an Orchid that has just started to flower today! I've had this plant for 4 years now & this year is the 3rd year it has flowered for me! I've posted some pictures of it in the Orchid thread but I'm going to include just one photo I didn't upload earlier in the other thread. .

These Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) seedlings were given to me by my son Jonathan today. They will stay on the balcony table for a few days until I can decide where to plant them out.

a few flowers giving me pleasure at the moment. Paeonia tenuifolia Rosa chinensis Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Valentine' Tulipa batalinii 'Bright Gem' Viola self sown from last year and they look identical to the parent plant, so I am very happy to see them.

Lovely flowers in your garden at the moment seaburn (I can't get used to that new name they've called Dicentra now though )

Many more of my plants are now flowering on the balcony! I have Geraniums, Pelargoniums, Marguerites & even a climbing self-sown Nasturtium! That was a real surprise! I'd transplanted it from the pot of Crocuses where it germinated months ago to a bigger pot up against the balcony railing so that it could climb up the strings I have up for Morning Glory climbers. .
The photos I took using the macro function on my new mobile phone. It's a function I've wanted for years!
