Spring flowers in Oban

Hiya again
Some lovely flowers have made a home nearby. These lovelies are blossoming at the foot of the house. First off, a true wildflower, a blue geranium:
Next, a plant I put in only a few weeks ago. I hope this weeping heart will thrive and grow bigger and give me pleasure for many years to come.
The wallflowers I planted last year are doing extremely well. There was some blossom on it almost all the winter through and it's come back splendidly, don't you think?
I had been wondering what would happen with my aquilegia seeds. Well, last year there was just a small growth of leaves but now look at this:
And finally, the great surprise this year, a yellow poppy that flowers in among the mombretia that will flower later:
I'm dead chuffed with these. They provide nectar and give colour and -- the wallflowers -- a wonderful aroma to the garden.
