@Slow-worm Really makes you look at salvias more closely. Stunning.

As said before, the colour choice is poor coincidence. Wild Geranium grown from seeds

Both Astrantia plants develop flowers.

The Knautsia starts slowly this year.

The Pulsatilla is fading. See you next year.

I have a raised bed with wildflowers good for bees. Borage will make them happy.

But it's currently the blackberry flowers that have their full attention. But there are far less bees this year around.

Old branch of some sort of hedge. Had grown like crazy.

Also those are now fading and on their last legs.

The honeybells are now almost all open.

Some great images there @Simone_in_Wiltshire

What is the name of the plant in the final image please.

@Sheps the last image is a wisteria as mini plant. One of OHs “let’s try it”. 🤨

Our Cattleya purpurata has flowered for the first time in 5 years of owning it. Each day it becomes more and more fantastic.

Our Dendrobium chysotoxum had one flower spike last year and this year has 8! Fabulous vibrant colour with over 100 individula flowers.

The outdoor Cypripedium had 4 flowers last year and this year 8. A great flower.

@bertrand-mabel They are called in German Pantoffelplants and in Dutch, too, Pantoffelplantje, because they look like slippers (Pantoffeln). 😊
