Can't compete with Weedy's fantastic floral wedding pieces, but I did snip a few bits of Aquilegia chrysantha 'Yellow Queen' while out in the garden. The previous owner planted it, it's not a plant I would have gone for but it's amazing.
"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour".
This is my May offering. It's still spring in west Yorks...
I had to photograph it outside, due to my cat's insistence that any vegetable material is hers to eat. We have ferns (ok, not flowers, but they stop the flowers falling over), euphorbias, vinca, ajugas, lychnis (which may just be red campion, but it's pretty), iberis, tiarella, violas, double primrose (didn't I say it was still spring?), saxifrages, Bowles golden grass, pink lily-of-the-valley, geraniums, aquilegia, potentilla & spiraea.
Love your pink/green creations, Weedy...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
The yellow flowers are rhododendron and poached egg plant. weigela at the back and white allium triquetrum (a weed0. The blue of Cerinthe major cools it all down.
Still spring here too Liri. Lovely selection you have there. I have a few new alliums so I cut a few and shoved them in with a tulip Queen of Night, a bit of lonicera, and cornflowers

It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Phew! Worth the effort- a long labour!

What a lovely thread this is, thanks Runnybeak for finding it for me (I was looking at your posts). I will have to find a jam jar and some flowers.

Excellent. I do so like this thread. May go and do another one myself even though I did say I would only do one once a month!
I like that very much Will

My Queen of Night tulips are long over, but my cornflowers aren't even in bud yet! Pretty. I must hurry up and do one.
Ditto here.
