Garden bloggers’ bloom day

I haven’t participated in this for a few months, but this morning I noticed how many flowers are out in the garden at this time:

I think that the Himalayan plant whose name you have forgotten might be Ceratostigma - it is blooming (a bit) for me today too! Happy gardening.

They're beautiful. I've never participated in Gardeners Bloom day, so I'm off to have a look if there's anything there now!

I love that you have so many herbs in bloom. I also have a few rosemary blooms now: most unexpected at this time of year in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.

Like yours, our rains have returned, but I think it will result in many more flowers for you than for us!
