I can offer no acceptable excuse for my prolonged absence. I bow my head in humility.
In the #stumpery in the #garden today, #Buddha is snug under the acer's #autumnal canopy.

From a week or so ago, Lily of the valley, Convallaria majalis, in the stumpery. They are very reliable flowering at the right time of the year, the beginning of May.
In Austria (and probably other German speaking countries) they are called Maiglöckchen, little May bells.

Comfrey in the stumpery. Sourced from a drift of self-sown comfrey elsewhere in the garden.
The bees love it but they were camera shy. I overheard them talking: “Oh. it’s him again with this thing that goes click. Looks like a giant eye. Very suspicious. Better wait and come back when he’s gone”, they said.

I know I have posted about #snowdrops, #Galanthus, before. I am so pleased with them. They keep increasing - through the season and year on year.
This group at the entrance to the #stumpery. I also have them in other borders and the #GrassMeadow.
As they flower so early, snowdrops do not rely on #pollinators but spread by bulb division. They are still visited by bees and other early insects on a warm day.

Happy #Samhain, #Halloween, whatever it is that you may celebrate.

Worked in the #stumpery, mainly to allow a little more light in. #Buddha says that he is happy - good enough for me.
