Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations.
My apologies that the rain I pleaded for last week came in the form of torrential (albeit brief) downpours or hailstones, accompanied at times by high winds. And here in Berkshire we’ve still had some really cold nights, although hopefully not for much longer. I have a pink and lilac themed six this week:
One – I only had one flower to show on this rhododendron last week, now there’s a whole host of them.
Two – Somehow this sweet pea has managed to seed itself and climb its way up through the perennials around it. I really like the delicate blush pink colour so I’ll try to remember to save some seed for next year.
Three – Perennial wallflower Erysimum ‘Bowles’s Mauve’.
Four – The rather beautifully patterned flower of Clematis ‘Nelly Moser’.
Five – A lovely dusky pink foxglove.
Six – I hope you’re not sick of pink yet because here’s Geranium sanguineum
