Photographs from the UKGardening photo gallery.

I've been taking photographs of plants in and around my garden since I bought my first digital camera in 2001 (three years after I has started this website). So whilst wondering where to keep the pictures in the days before Flickr and cloud storage, I thought I'd create a little database of them on my UK Gardening website, and I've been taking photos and adding them to my site ever since.

Below is a very small, random selection of photographs I have taken over the last 27 years. To see a larger version of a photograph, click the image. You'll then be able to scroll left and right through the current selection.

Malus sylvestris (Crab apple) blossom

Primula

Penstemon

Saxifraga x arendsii

Arum maculatum (cuckoo pint, cuckoo-pint, jack-in-the-pulpit, lords and ladies). The berries are produced in summer, turning orangey-red in late-summer, early autumn.

Alcea (Hollyhock)

Cordyline australis 'Purpurea' (Cabbage palm)

Spider

Narcissus 'Tête-à-tête' (Daffodil)

Aucuba japonica 'Crotonifolia' (Spotted laurel)

IMG_0950-blossom-01

Belted hoverfly Volucella zonaria. One of the largest flies of Britain. It mimics a hornet or wasp, but is harmless to humans. The adults are great polinators and their larvae are believed to eat wasp grubs.

Hypochaeris radicata (Cat's-ear)

Skimmia japonica 'Rubella'

Bergenia 'Baby Doll' (Elephant's ears)

Agapanthus africanus (African lily)
