The Woodland Garden (Tuesday 2nd May 2023)

I didn't know it was a thing but on Tuesday I was invited in for a one-off shingles jab at the surgery in Calne town centre. I returned without taking any pictures but at the moment in the Woodland Garden everything is springing up at the same time, including the wildflowers that I allow to thrive and the bindweed that I don't.

Suddenly there are masses of green alkanet (aka evergreen bugloss or simply alkanet)(Pentaglottis sempervirens) everywhere. This specimen is in the Front Yard and is an obvious candidate for Wild Flower Week, with thanks to Miranda1008.
