Now 90% #Bloomscrolling Always my own pic, usually but not always my own garden. I grow plants of all kinds indoors and out and take pics of them wherever I find them Socialist. Skint. NW England.

Cheers, really vivid isn't it 😀
Thanks for another great #GardensHour and rounding off #SixWeeksOfColour in style with lashings of PINK! Next week we’ll resume normal service, and be discussing what September joys your garden is bringing you. See you next Monday 👋
Hello #GardensHour! Wonderful to have a look back at all the beautiful pinks in the garden throughout the year, from hellebores and apple and cherry blossoms through to papavers, roses, hydrangeas, echinacea, lilies and dahlias. Enjoyed them all. #BloomScrolling
Nice! #GardensHour
🌱These are not particularly good photos but do show the multitudes of different colours and combinations. They are prolific seed producers too!
Hello #GardensHour for the colour pink, here is a sweet little bumble bee snoozing in a cosmos flower
A new plant for me but seems to be doing well. Tricytis #GardensHour #Bloomscrolling #flowers
Is it a toad lilly, very cool, never seen that colour! #GardensHour
That would be just the right kind of company 🤣

I must make the pilgrimage to Kew again soon, so much more to see.
1/3 Is this #GardensHour? These are from Kew Gardens yesterday. These are two outside the Palm House, one inside the Palm House, and one inside the Waterlily House.
Dahlia love 🥰 #GardensHour
A pink Scabious proving popular with the flying six-legged buzzy things #GardensHour #SixWeeksOfColour 🌱
A multicoloured variety? I like the sound of that, we mostly just get pink and purple here! #GardensHour
Yep lots of thundery showers with quite hot sunshine in between last few days

Here’s my favourite pinks from this year. Not really any pale tones, although I added a clematis armandii apple blossom this year - hopefully some early pale pink blooms next year #GardensHour

Evening all not really my favourite colour but it turns out I've grown more pink flowers in the last few years than I realised, like this dahlia from last year 'Surprise Paula' 🌱📷 #GardensHour #SixWeeksOfColour
Hello #GardensHour! Let’s round off #SixWeeksOfColour with a celebration of all things pink in your gardens. What have you got?

Took a lot of patience to get this one.😊 Happy new month! #BlueSkyMonday #macromonday #mygarden #insects #nature #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #GardensHour #damselfly
Pretty tasty 😀

Thats why I take so many pics, winter sucks 😀
I know theyre associated with Brigid and Imbolc?
Why are the right wing only screaming about the first?
Today Nick Ferrari asked if treaties like the ECHR & the Refugee Convention that were drawn up in the wake of WWII are still relevant to modern Britain. I said the context of racial hatred towards Muslim immigrants now echoes the hatred of Jewish immigrants in the 20th century. We need these laws.
I understand (though I do not accept) the government's case for remaining on X. What is totally indefensible is the *exclusive* presence of many MPs & departments on that site. They are handing a monopoly of key government communications to a site that's increasingly run by & for the radical right
One of the things that gives me a flicker of hope for my country is when groups like the Quakers, the RNLI, the Women's Institute and the National Trust stand up for common decency. I just don't understand why the Labour Party can't.

Probably just a coincidence that a couple of months ago British liberal pundits and pol profs on here were all agreeing that left wing critics are actually worse than fascists.
One of the jewel orchids from the dining room shoebox terrarium. This is Dossinia marmorata var. dayii. Stunning patterns and colors. 🪴🌱

#SundayYellow. A Common Carder Bee on a yellow gaillardia flower. Hope your Sunday is a happy one.
It seems strange that the anti-migrant protests instigated by far right groups are taking place all over the western world Exactly the same rhetoric is being used in U.S, U.K, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Germany etc Almost as if it’s been deliberately planned and is being orchestrated…
hi, folks. happy Saturday! time for some #flowers, I suppose. they'll have to suffice for #ColorADay & #GreenSat with the greenery backgrounds. these are from the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum #JBCFlowers #blooms #garden #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #DailyFlower

I’m not 100% sure but I think this is the second set of #Flowers on this #Cactus #SundayYellow #Bloomscrolling #Plants
Just a couple of years growth 😀
Yeah I still dip into 'On The Ledge' occasionally. Loxkdown was definitely the beginning of my houseplant collection too
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

Good morning friends 💛 It has been rainy weekend, but earlier this week the weather was still ok. The flower here is #petunia, which is also it's Finnish name. This one has glowing yellow colour. And a bonus bee 🐝 Have a lovely Sunday 💛 #SundayYellow #Flowers #BloomScrolling #Gardening #Bees
It’s looking a bit like autumn! Plump, luscious fruits are brightening the hedgerows like vibrant jewels, beautiful, but can you identify them? This week find the fruits of wild plants, snap away & post your lovely pics for #wildflowerhour this Sunday 8-9pm using #fruits 🍒

Starting Sunday with another decorative Dahlia favourite a flaming red beauty with yellow highlight. Happy Sunday BlueSky ! 🌺🌼 #Sundaythoughts #Gardenflowers #BloomScrolling
Some Lantana for #SundayYellow and #PhotographyBreak. This plant, although with beautiful flowers, is very hard to get rid of in the garden, with its long-growing thorny shoots, which take over. Many thanks to the Sparrows who poop them into place! 😂
They are a bit of an effort but they're well worth it 😀
Cockscomb, celosia plumosa, for #SundayYellow 🌱📷 #bloomscrolling #flowers
My front garden is heavy clay and they hated it in there, maybe with loads of grit dug in.
Always room for one more plant though isnt there 😀
Thanks, the higher parts have really started digging their roots into the coir wrapping of the pole now too, nicely sturdy. I really miss #HouseplantHour y'know?

A twisted ankle has limited my gardening but here's a #sixonsaturday from a temporarily non-gardening gardener. n20gardener.com/2025/08/30/s... six photos and a few words of description. Happy gardening 🌱 #gardening #gyo #ukgardening

#Shiny beautiful. Thick-legged flower beetle on Mexican fleabane. #BlueskyArtShow 📷 #photography
They're dahlias, dunno they don't like winter here much though, need lifting and storing, they're from Mexico originally I think.
Thanks 😀
Oh yeah most of those things would need to be brought indoors or undercover from mid October to mid May up here, London has its own microclimate.
That'd be nice wouldn't it, not holding my breath mind 😅
#flowerOnFriday sky-folk back atcha. Safe happy waves from Canada
Shame, new or established plants?
Bit dry this year maybe?
Dahlia 🌱 #gardensky #photography #bloomscrolling
Magic 😀
Just post your recipes and tips for yourself maybe, new ways of prepping veg are always welcome with me.
I also found them hard to grow, compared to eg runner beans anyway. Very attractive pods though and the beans look really cool too. 🌱
Really nice little city, I've enjoyed every visit 😀
Thanks 😀
The Day has arrived. This weekend will be my final visit to my allotment before I give it up, and from September, Auntie will just be a Hermit, not a veg-growing Hermit. So, one last time, here's the Plot in its heyday. 🌱 #allotments

What a great community garden that is in Bristol, love the solar pump irrigation and the awesome composting operation too. #GardenersWorld 🌱
