Get your garden out

The pear tree is in full bloom

Hi all,
A lot of people aren't keen on Grape Hyacinths (Muscari spp), because they spread, but I look on it as bonus.

Bees like them as well.

Edit: I should have put some names on the photos: The yellow one is <"Muscari macrocarpum"<, the Wedgewood blue one is probably <"M. armeniacum "Valerie Finnis">, the plain blue one is probably M. armeniacum and the pale one with the flared bell is M. azureum.

Cheers Darrel

Ours aren't even out yet. I'm happy to have them but the ones I planted in the lawn don't look like they are coming up, the russian snowdrops (they are probably in hiding) barely came up either but the chionodoxa looked nice . Didn't know there was a yellow species, might have to try some of them in the autumn.
 
Still raining here, filling my water butts yay! 🤗
Most of the plants are 'perking' nicely so expecting a rush of growth when the sun shines again.
The blackbirds are pulling great beakfulls of worms out of the lawn, no cats to dodge as they don't like the rain!
 
I like the group of acers, beautiful colours. We have one with dark reddish leaves, I planted it in the garden last autumn because the pot was too small. I needed a huge ceramic pot like yours!
Same here @foxfish, just to see one would be nice! We have enough trouble with urban foxes & badgers digging divots out of the lawn.
 
Lucky for you guys, no rain for me !

It's the same here. We are desperate for some as the ground is cracking already. We haven't had any since the Sahara dust storms and it was a very dry winter.
