That's what I call ground cover! what lovely little flowers (and I do love blue flowers:))

Yea, it forms large mats on open places, and is really really eye catching when the sun is out. You can't miss it.

Mmm, I'll bet :)
It looks like it'll be another nice day tomorrow, so I'll go walk about in the garden and see what else I can find to take pictures of :) .. The spurge should be out somewhere... what this space ;)

The Veronica persica is so sweet!

Not in my garden, but out on a walk we came across this just a few days ago. Never seen it before, there was also another wild-flower but I've not sorted the picture yet (will try in a few days). Both spring flowering though :)

Anyone know what it is?

Wow, never seen that before. You know what it is???

No idea as of yet. Presume bulb type, but wasn't going to disturb it :) You never know.

And (woot to a little spare time) here's the other Unknown little gem we saw a few days ago. Carpet like habit as shown in the second picture. Quite a small flower only a few centimeters or so in size. Growing on a slope in a wooded area.

EDIT: I now believe this one is Anemone nemorosa Anemone nemorosa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As promised, here are a few more snaps of what's out in the garden :) (re: previous post - spurge isn't quite out yet, so no pics of that yet)

Since I started the last set with the ladybirds, I thought I wold start this set with a picture of the first comma butterfly in the garden :) Always great to have butterflies around :)

Then, we have:
Celandine x2
Comfrey
Cowslip
Elephant Ears (or heart leaf bergenia)
Flowering currant
Forsythia
Heartease
.... and finally, what I think is
blue Star of Bethlehem x2

Ooops, forgot the cowslip! it doesn't want to load at the moment so I'll try and pop it in this post later

Edit: Finally got it to load one of the photos! (annoyingly, it wasn't the better one but the other just wouldn't load up!)

:biggrin: Cool butterfly! I like the Star of Bethlehem, very nice shade of blue.
