Six on Saturday – 12th June 2021

21 Replies

Mid June – and like The Propagator my garden “has been running away from me” too. Weeds everywhere but particular the vegetable path. So I am not going to show you that – just some pretty flowers (and a few insects) instead!

First this week a pink geranium – sorry don’t have a name, with a visiting hoverfly (Rhingia campestris).

  • Pink geranium with Rhingia campestris

Next one of my favourite June combinations – buttercup and red campion – these are both flowering under the hedge.

  • Buttercup and red campion

Delphiniums are another summer favourite – just coming out now.

  • Delphiniums

The garden is busy with bees at the moment – always a joy to see. The white tailed bumblebees seem to particularly like the lupins.

Sitting on the lupin leaf I spotted this lovely blue damselfly too.

And finally this week a red and yellow aquilegia. The white tailed bumbles also like this one.

Thank you to The Propagator for hosting Six On Saturday.

    Well, more suggestions for my garden, Like your strategy of collecting autumn seeds and putting in seed trays. Wonderful plants and pictures – particularly like the buttercup / red campion combination.
