Plenty of blooms in the sun and shade of the garden. The blue flowered Green Alkanet and White Comfrey cope fine with a bit of both. I've noticed that bees are drawn to them throughout the day but more so when the sun is on them and this seems to be the case with most plants.

 I put Ramsons in a damp shady spot by the house which are the conditions that suit them in the wild.

 Star of Bethlehem is a bulb of East Anglian meadows. It grows well in the lawn but the flowers only open when the sun is on them.

 Greater Stichwort is a plant of hedgerows and the edge of woodland so it can tolerate both shade and sun during the course of the day as would be the case in its natural habitat. Note the fronds of Tellima grandiflora growing up through the Stichwort in the top photo.

 T. grandiflora is a plant that hails from North American woodlands. It self seeds readily in the shady parts of the garden and mingles obligingly with the other plants.

 Water Avens is plant of open and shady riverbanks so does fine in an old tin bath which gets some sun in the afternoon! Bumblebees love them and it looks rather comical when big buzzers hang upside down off the flowers with the stalks bending under the weight of them.

 Bluebells thread through several of the borders. These ones appear to be Spanish Bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica) which are taller than our native Bluebell H. non-scripta which is planted elsewhere in the garden and just starting to flower.

 Geranium phaeum -sometimes called 'The Mourning Widow'- is noted for coping with full shade, even dry shade which defeats many plants.

 NB Bit of a whistle-stop tour but all of the above have entries of their own roundabout this time last year as I recall.
