Scarecrow and Victor, that gorgeous ceanothus in the background, white-flowered tree to the right, makes a nice combination
Victor on the table I've been working hard to clear with some seedlings, so there's room for cats
Scarecrow enjoying the space on the table
the cats are competing for this position in the flowerbed, one of the few places in the garden free for them to sit / sleep, foxglove buds to the left

self-seeded echium Blue Bedder in the garden next door I look after, why couldn't more have self-seeded ? my seedlings suffered from damping-off so sadly no new plants this year unless the recently re-sown seeds grow pretty quickly
I was worried where the bees would feed once the green alkanet is finished and no echium Blue Bedder but I realised the nepeta will be in bloom soon and I have a few good-sized plants, lots of buds (I do so love buds)
monkshood has buds also
scabious coming into flower
some fat, numerous buds of creeping thistle nearby
first ranunculus in bloom
