Spring or maybe summer has arrived and my garden has errupted with flowers, some of which I never planted, so where do they come from ? I missed taking photos of some of the beautiful blossoms on the trees a few weeks ago so I made sure that I got out between the rain showers to show you what inspires me, just outside my back door.

Does anyone know what this is ?  I thought it might be Herb Robert but I'm not sure.

Forget-me-nots, delicate little things when you see them up close.

wow this one has amazing patterns inside.

It could be interesting trying to dye aluminium like this.

Heres my tulips, plus a tiny visitor on one

Finally a friends garden a few years ago and the shapes that inspired many of my designs.
