Curious flowers. We bought some as cut flowers perhaps last spring and damn, damn, damn, I did not ask what they were and therefore cannot show off my most expert horticultural knowledge.
Don't know - I guess it is some kind of fruit blossom or something along those lines if it is from your own garden. Otherwise it could well be something from a syringa family. In other words I really have no idea.
White coral bells upon a slender stalk Lilies of the valley line my garden walk. Oh, don't you wish that you could hear them ring? That will happen only when the fairies sing.
I don't begrudge you anything. I would just have returned earlier and seen the clue if I had been free this afternoon and then I might have pipped you at the post.
It is extraordinary how comments from certain trolls can change the atmosphere of a posting in an instant. I would have deleted Bitch's comment (as I do with others) had she not answered correctly. But it would have seemed nasty to have done so.

Hedge garlic (Jack-by-the-Hedge) perhaps?
That's a 'Nope' then.

Guessing it's a wildflower from the meadow or even a weed? Mustn't be from your garden if you're getting us guessing.
Forget me nots

CORRECT.
No more guesses needed.
I have grown HORSERADISH for many years, but have never before seen it flower.
Kale flowers
I’m kicking myself ☹️ XXXX
I would never have guessed that. They are very pretty.
I wish I had revisited earlier.
I googled it to check and it's almost worth growing for the flowers.
I would never have guessed that and I see Bok is happy enjoying the sun.
Too late, see above.
You shouldn't. I don't think many (including myself) would have had a clue!
I just found them yesterday!
Someone saw your, and my, comments, and added 2 and 2.
Not really. When I cut the flower, the tiny florets started to drop immediately. Pretty though!
I wouldn't have either. Luckily it was growing on top of a plant I know very well.
I blame my brother who arrived as I was putting the comment on and then stayed chatting for two hours.
This guessing post was enjoyable Cro! x

Ahem...horseradish is in the cabbage family...
I'd hoped you'd all enjoy it. Tricky too!
On 1st May in France, sprigs of Lilies of the valley are given as gifts to friends, clients, and neighbours.

I thought you meant actual Cabbage. Sorry.
