SixOnSaturday garden posts, spring flowers

natureMay 2, 202620172

Six on Saturday, a weekly gardening photo meme originally created by The Propagator, is now curated by Jim at Garden Ruminations and this spring contributors are posting pictures of wisteria, wild garlic, canola, irises, and helichrysum. One photographer shared wisteria at Heinrich-Heine-Haus in Lüneburg, Germany, and another photographed daisies, violets, and lady-smocks at Victoria Embankment, London in late April 2025 while quoting Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. Other posts highlight bearded and Dutch irises currently flowering and the yellow helichrysum at the Gaggero nursery, often accompanied by close-up mobile images or short blog links. The weekly sets act as a visual phenology record of spring blooms and offer practical inspiration for gardeners selecting plants, color schemes, and timing for beds and borders.

Taking my dog out before he chews off my walking boots. Have the best of days my friends. Be kind, support smaller accounts on BOTD, give them a little lift. Ta. Will be back later to help Rob. 😊 #ColorADay #GreenSat #photography #Butterfly #Flowers #ECK “ I can’t see anything in here!”

A close-up of an Orange-tip butterfly perched on a purple bluebell, its wings partly open to reveal bright orange tips on the forewings and a marbled green-and-white pattern underneath. The butterfly feeds delicately from one of the drooping, bell-shaped flowers with its proboscis extended. The bluebell’s curved stem arcs through the frame, and the background is a soft blur of green grass, with sunlight picking out the fine details of the petals and the butterfly’s wings.

🌱 #sixonSaturday from my tiny garden. Full description in Alt text. It looks quite cloudy and the forecast predicts rain later. I will keep my fingers crossed. Hope to plant out some seedlings this morning.

A collage of six photos from my tiny garden. The large pictures are Enkianthus flowers that look like tiny cream bells with a pink edge and Honesty flowers turning into flat green seed pods shining in the sunshine. The top small pictures are the first bright red Salvia flowers and a tiny violet flower that appeared in my lawn. The bottom pictures are lime green flowers and leaves of Smyrmium and a rich blue flower of an Iris.

Wild Garlic Woods. #photography #EastCoastKin #TeamPixel #wildgarlic #ireland #nature #woodland #spring #flowers #forest

A vertical photo of a lush green forest. The ground is covered in a dense carpet of white wild garlic flowers. Sunlight filters through the canopy of tall trees, creating bright patches of light on the green leaves. One central tree trunk is covered in thick dark ivy. The overall mood is fresh and peaceful, capturing the height of a spring day in a deciduous woodland.

When daisies pied, and violets blue, And lady-smocks all silver-white, And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue Do paint the meadows with delight… Shakespeare, LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST, 5.2 #BookWormSat #Flowers #London 📷: Victoria Embankment, London, late April 2025
