We're fortunate to have a garden - "Just us" and now that we're at "Dun Roamin" for a while, I took the opportunity to take a few pictures of flowers and other plants today. I'm not a gardener or horticulturalist, so I haven't a clue which are cultivated and which are weeds - just love the beauty of them all. Not really a railway competition, but how many of the plants from "Travels around our Garden" can you identify? 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.  9.  10.  11.  |

Weeds? Is that still an acceptable term with no trigger warning? I call them volunteers.

11 Narcissus
Had a delivery from Sutton Seeds over the last couple of days so plan a day in the garden shortly to get them all planted (if I get time!).

I'd say 6 resembles a super coronavirus but I hope it isn't.

2. Celandine (or pilewort !). Strictly speaking, this is a weed.

The differences between flowers and weeds is that flowers are the seeds and bulbs you plant, while weeds are the indestructible vegetation someone else asks you to get rid of.

A weed is a plant in the wrong place!

In my case the weeds are the things that flourish. The seeds and bulbs I plant seem to fare less well. |

I think 10 is a grape hyacinth. Odd name, which is probably why it sticks in my mind.

4 might be a form of primula while 6 and 7 look a bit like the same plant in different stages of flowering.
The spring flowers planted either side of the path to my front door are currently going through what could be described as their flamboyant stage.
