Had a wander around the garden yesterday to see what was out, some plants are going over, some just coming out. Hydrangea by the front gate, sometimes it's blue, sometimes pink. sometimes both at the same time!  Iris chrysographes  Kiftsgate rose starting to fade now.  Lady Marmalade rose with buddleia growing through it  Lavatera in front garden  Slightly tatty lilies in a pot on the patio  Lychnis chalcedonica  Part of a mixed border  Clump of ox-eye daisies  Persicaria, darmera & primula  Rock'n'Roll rose  Galway Bay rose  Sweet Wiiliams sown undercover last autumn  Teasels & primulas  |

Thank you Eli & grindle, lots of flowers going over early or late to come out this year but still plenty of colour. Another posy picked yesterday.  |

It's nice to pick a posy from the garden SueA, I used to do it when Beryl was alive (and she did it herself before she became disabled)
I don't bother for myself ... but maybe I will soon.

I don't often pick flowers for indoors Eli, they tend to make me sneeze but I do sometimes pick a posy to put on the patio table outside so that I can see a selection from the garden when I look out of the patio doors. |

As we only have to look out of the windows of the living room we don't very often have cut flowers in the house. All the flowers on the balcony are no more than a couple of metres from the living room at most! Possibly there are only cut flowers for Mother's Day & my wife's birthday! The rest of the time there are often pots of flowers on the living room table.  |

I'm going to post some of the pictures I took this morning of Geraniums & Fuchsias flowering on the balcony:
  
And some of the Fuchsias:
    
I still have a couple more Fuchsias to open their flowers but perhaps after the coming warm spell forecast for this weekend they will open.
