Today’s photograph was one of six combinations for a Six on Saturday post in the middle of May, featuring three stars of the late spring border: allium, astrantia and aquilegia. Sadly it isn’t the best of photographs but, nevertheless, these three always make a great combination and mark the start of a summer of burgeoning borders.
Thank you to our host, Cathy of Words and Herbs, who is encouraging us to look back to some of the brighter spots of our gardens from earlier this year.
Rambling in the Garden 
Here in the UK, the winter is going to be very long…
Oh! Sorry you feel like that 🙄 I find with things of interest all the year round in the garden here, I don’t find it long – but I always look on the bright side anyway…
Our winters always seem long, compared to the other seasons…
Hmm, so when do you feel winter starts and finishes, or is it a moveable thing? Just curious 😉
I always think that winter starts when the weather gets really cold, and stops when the first spring flower blooms. Not very technical, I know…
Yes, very much a ‘moveable feast’ – and it’s very definitely winter here now!

A lovely combination.

I can feel the warmth of late Spring in that photo.
It’s a lovely combination Cathy, and the pink Astrantia is so very pretty. 😃
I have dug up a felf-seeded one recently and moved it from the path to a border, and it is still flowering!
