Pot Pourri

I did have a look around the net yesterday. But what I came up with may be a surprise. But there is a twist in the tale.
As I said I looked it up, and the nearest I got was a Russian Snowdrop. But the twist in the tale is that the Russian Snowdrop has blue stripes and not green. But the flowers do look the same apart from the stripe.

Well, you pays your money and you takes your choice .
If the leaf smells oniony then they are ransoms; if the leaf smells of vodka then it's a Russian snowdrop.

If it is the Leek I suggested the flower stalks will be triangular. Get out there Willpar we need the definitive answer.

Went for walkies to where the plant is. Actually a garden by the side of the road in the village. Anyways to my horror, the plot has been dug over and a heck of a lot of the plants are gone. Even the welsh poppy. In fact there is hardly anything in flower now.

Colours of May.

Wild woodbine !! Could smell the beautiful scent from here - much better than the cultivated varieties.
Seems to be a very good year for orchids - Early Purple I s'pose.
3 colours of dogrose in your vid, Willpar, pink, white and deep pink. Mine isn't even out yet.
And neither are my irises !!
I'd guess at a Pipit ??
Lovely cranesbill - what a deep colour, absolutely beautiful.
A thistle plantation !! Hooray.
Cuckoopint - a flower not just the seed !! Wow, what a wonderful setting. Is there a stream nearby ??
And lots and lots of small brown flitters

Thank you Placi. The dog roses except for the one with the insects on it were all in the same area. The dark pink had me thinking it may be a cultivar as It was outside of the garden centre. But it was looking very nice. The iris were farther along the path from the roses in a boggy area. I think they were planted there. But a very nice colour. Most of the cranesbill I see are pink, but I like these better. They are up in the playing fields. Early spring I went up with a trowel and bag. Dug some roots up with shoots on them, and now I have some plants in the front of my house. Not in flower yet, but then not expecting much in the first year. Believe it or not the orchids are not having a good time of it. I think spring has been too dry and there don't seem to be a lot around. Those that I am finding are rather small. The bird I was thinking Corn Bunting, was surprised it never flew away.

As always a visual treat
PS I think the bird is a Skylark.
