Bluebells and dandelions in the grass meadow under an ornamental cherry tree.
The perceived weeds, self-sown dandelions and daisies, are loved by the #insects and an important part of my understanding of gardening, which is to invite #nature into the #garden.

From a couple of weeks ago, a drift of Tulip 'Orange emperor’, who were lucky to escape the muntjac’s attention.
This cultivar was, apparently, introduced in 1962 by the the Dutch grower J.W.A. Lefeber. Back then, he could not have imagined that the name, Orange Emperor, would acquire such an unsavoury meaning more than sixty years later.
Let’s keep this our #secret. Somebody might think that they named a tulip after him.

I love this entirely wild patch at the front of the garden. Everything, apart from the shrubs, is self-sown (or was already here when we bought the house). I do not do anything apart from cutting it down once a year in late autumn. At the moment, the #bluebells are flowering.
Unlike the rest of the garden it is visible from the road. I am certain that some uninspired people think it is an uncared-for weed patch.

Tulip 'Apricot beauty' in a border.
I planted twenty bulbs a couple of years ago. Only two have come up this year or, rather, not been eaten by our visitor, the muntjac.
