Before May goes slip slidin' out of the back door I'm joining in with Cathy over at 'Words and Herbs' and her 'Five Favourites' and a chance to share five favourite monthly blooms. My five May favourites included :
The flowers of the horse chestnut tree - officially not in our garden but just the other side of the stream which forms one boundary of the garden. It's a delight every spring.
Chive flowers which are enjoyed not just by me but by the bees too.
This aquilegia which I'm fairly sure is aquilegia 'Hensol Harebell'. It self seeds but never enough to be considered a nuisance.
The very first rose of the year. This year rosa 'Bathsheba' was first past the post. Here she is on a rainy 13th May.
My final choice is a hardy geranium and this one is geranium maculatum 'Stormy Night' - the foliage provides interest long after the flowers have gone over.
Thanks for the invitation Cathy ❤️
