      I only planted blue ones about 20 years ago, since then as they have spread in the rough grass a number of white and different blue shades have appeared there are also a number of doubles and semi doubles.

          I quickly went round the garden taking photos. My camera doesn't like taking pictures when there is high contrast between light and shade.

          Hellebores are all over the garden and spread like mad, especially in the shadier areas.

          None of these were planted and are running wild through our fern area

          Unless self-planted, plants get in the way we leave them there.

            Snowdrops and all the Primrose family also run wild. Funnily enough, the Primroses and Cowslips we planted in our wild area are not yet showing the first sign of flowering.

              This bee was having the time of his life. He didn't bother to fly around picking the best ones but just crawled into them from one to the other.

              We have two of these Bamboos. They are non-spreading ones and we just trim off the dead bits. We planted them over 40 years ago.

                  I'm surprised anemones have already started outside in tub. I forgot they were there.
