In a Vase on Monday. Plants for Free.

May seems to be the month when the garden is full of carpets of colour made up of self -seeded plant life . The gardener can sit back and revel the show without having to do anything at all to create it . I did n’t even have to introduce many of the self - seeders here . Sheets of blue are supply by forgetmenots , camassias , brunnera and Campanula rotundifolia .

The Spanish harebell in one part of my garden are a form with tremendous flower which are more like hyacinth .

Yellow look wonderful with the blueing and comes in the form of Welsh poppies , cowslips and acid- yellowSmyrnium perfoliatum .

I did start off with a few plant ofSmyrnium perfoliatuma few twelvemonth ago and now I can just sit down back and enjoy them . They always put themselves just in the right place .

Smyrniium perfoliatum

The delicate flowers of the Welsh poppy , Meconopsis cambricaseem to find the most magical places to blossom too .

Meconopsis cambrica

The double orange poppy , Papaver rupifragum come up everywhere .

Papaver rupifragum

Tellima grandiflorahas spike of small green bell shaped flowers and it comes up everywhere but it looks very refined .

Tellima grandiflora

Yellow Archangel is very invasive too but quite useful for funny corners where not much else grows .

Smyrniium perfoliatum

Lamium galobdolon

And of form , May sees the start of the aquilegia and if you start off with a few bundle of seeds in different colours you are never without them .

Aquilegia vulgaris

Meconopsis cambrica

Honesty run around everywhere and is always welcome , specially in the white kind , or better still the white vary shape . An added bonus is the number of orange tip butterfly stroke it attracts .

Lunaria annua

Papaver rupifragum

Lunaria annua‘Alba variegata ’

The starry white flowers of Star of Bethelehem , Ornithogalum umbellatumput themselves everywhere too and they can become an awful nuisance , but the efflorescence are very pretty .

So my vase today is made up of these uncoerced and sometimes over -enthusiastic volunteers in the garden .

To have the walk fill out the garden was endearing , and then to view a bouquet made with your volunteers to top the tour , a nice distraction from what is happen outside in the wide world . Many thanks .
