Here is a lovely pulmonaria which self seeded itself on the patio. I have a recurring theme of things seeding themselves in odd places! There is a tangerine dream poppy behind it.
We had one reasonably sunny day on Sunday (in Warwickshire), and the lily beetles came out in force:
I've no idea what these think they're doing:
Not pleasant, but necessary:
There were quite a lot of ladybirds on the lilies too. So people who resort to spraying do need to very careful. Manual execution is far more reliable.
Thanks Pam - your garden seems to be blooming! Things in mine appear to be opening one by one, and I have to take the photos one by one in between the storms!
