    My winter Pansies are still waiting to be planted out and I noticed the first couple of flowers on them today. Guess what colour they are? :)

                @Beckie76 Oh dear! I hope she took photos because she gave them away to patients to cheer them up. :)

                I'll have to ask her. I know some of the stuff she picked was also for others to use. She always provides others with plant material and a lot of churches round here come for foliage for their displays.

                      Well done Beckie! :dbgrtmb:

                      Most plants that have multi colours like Pansies tend to produce blue flowers first followed by white. :)

                          Papaver 'Patty's Plum' coming into bloom for the first time this year, I hope the frosts hold off! I had to move the poppy twice in early May because of disruption to the bed it's planted in so it didn't flower.
