Wild flowers on the last day of spring 2026

Gorgeous flowers.

Lovely, the quintessential flowers of early summer- like in Shakespeare's time!

.... Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.

You are so knowledgeable Gudrun. There's not many folks who would recognise both the flowers and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

I was just thinking of you and how long it has been since we last exchanged comments. The fault is all mine of course. It is an absolute pleasure to admire your last day or Spring blooms LGM
I hope that you both are well xxx

I like the bee on the dog rose Amelia.......viewed large the detail is excellent.

The honeysuckle is looking gorgeous and also very nicely detailed.

A beautiful pair of photos..!!

My honeysuckle has not flowered yet :(

Honeysuckles flower at different times, Keith, so don't worry about it.

After quite a prolonged heatwave which encouraged the roses in our garden to open at least 2 weeks ahead of schedule, it is now pouring with rain. They are mostly old highly scented roses which don't like rain; consequently tomorrow I will probably be dead-heading sodden balls of petals.

Thanks for that encouraging comment Amelia ;-)

We have rain forecast for the rest of today and up until at least Thursday. I don't have roses, so I don't have the problems you do. Maybe you'll be lucky!

Beautiful flowers, A lot of things are flowering well this year but are going over quickly

most beautiful photos!!!!!!

Happy new week:)

beautiful capture Amelia

Beautiful pair!
