Yesterday when I was out in my garden I noticed how interesting the leaves on my Lenten Rose were. I don’t think I have ever seen them so beautiful.
Nearby the leaves of the pulmonaria are also amazing. There seem to be two sorts.
A blotchy sort.
and a spotty sort. The leaves of the fuchsia in a pot out the front are some of my favourites.
Such a lovely combination of green and red.
My golden sage is looking quite magnificent. Just look at these leaves.
And because I can – here is my clematis this morning. Much bluer this year. Though the camera didn’t think so! and I had to adjust.
Since it faces south east the flowers do fade rather but here is an almost perfect one.
I also found a bee. Now nothing makes me so happy as sitting in my garden and listening to the bees buzzing as they visit the flowers.
Eventually she found the heart of the flower.
Before flying away.
Lovely pictures of your plants. Love bees too. So industrious and cunning too. I’ve watched them snip holes in broad bean flower bases to get the nectar rather than the hard work through the opening.

Interesting story about bees. I don’t have broad beans so I can’t look to see such things happening.

Bees are wonderful aren’t they. I love their fluffy cuteness and they are so important too for pollination.

I have never considered myself a natural gardener but I too love watching plants grow and develop.
