It’s hard not to get distracted by the flowers of spring, even though I still don’t have that many in the garden yet! Here’s a small tour of distraction.
Bunching spring onion flowers are a nice size for bumblebees.
The kale (Cavolo Nero) flowers are billowing out of the Vege Garden, feeding the bees and soon to produce seeds.
Golden Queen peach tree flowers.
The Billington plum flowers are all but gone already.
A bumblebee finds the flowering currant. It took me a while to figure out what this shrub was. I’m guessing it could be Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum.
Spring has properly said “hello” now.

I always love reading about spring in your neck of the woods when we are experiencing fall, and vice versa. 🙂

Those kakabeak are something that I have never seen before. Of course, if it is rare there, it is even more rare here.

Yes, they are quite something. It isn’t too hard to find at least one species or cultivar among garden centres, more often the red-flowered ones, but they are rare in the wild, mostly because they are a little too palatable to critters.
