            I think this is a wild cherry!
            It provides more colour in the garden.

                    Nigella flower found on a footpath when out walking today. I took some seed from this patch last year.

                          It's got it all going on :biggrin: also the leaves have a very fine white edge which adds extra interest. Not a fan of red in general but do love these tulips...this particular one somehow appeared in the back garden and had slowly multiplied. Wonder if a squirrel dug them up from the front garden...no idea @ViewAhead

                            @Scroggin that's a beauty alright!!
                            Bluebells (and occasional white ones) remind me of childhood days picking armfuls of them in the woods - you could do that then.

                              Found this at the end of the garden, behind the fruit trees.
                              Another joyful discovery. :yahoo:
