  Hyacinth - a a highly scented one too.
  Kept in the conservatory, and every time I open the door from the house, the air is filled with the perfume!!
  
  Just one small plant.

  Today celebrating a Camellia feast. Hard to choose among hundreds of lovely buds and flowers.

  

  One of the very few flowers with this intricated (?) design...
  

  

  
  

  

  Focus Stacking of about 15 photos
  

  

  Probably the result of one of the slimy creatures nibbling at the bud; we now have a sectional, circular view of the petals!
  

  

  And now for something different, close-up of my Erica carnea, again a Focus Stacking of 15 photos.
  

  

  Spiraea thunbergii 'Fujino Pink' in full bloom
  

  

  The very first flower of the year on my Loropetalum chinense (white variety)

  Superb photos there @Papi Jo!  The only new flower in my garden at the moment is an Anemone nemorosa which has returned in a more subtle shade of blue this year!
