The roses have gone over now, this picture was taken before I dead-headed them. You might just be able to make out some pink flowers on tall stems growing in front of them. A result of clever planting perhaps - as one goes over, the other starts to bloom?
Talking of roses, I'm a bit disapointed that the 'Gypsy Boy' rose that we were given as a wedding present from work hasn't flowered - hopefully it will next year.
My first job in the garden this year was to attack the budlea, which had taken over. Now it's grown back almost to the same size as it was before - and is in beautiful flower, and I'm grateful for it, because it's just so pretty with the butterflies fluttering around it in the sunshine!
Our neighbour's garden is giving us some real goodies this year, just look at this crazy honeysuckle! It's just coming into flower and it smells amazing!
I've replaced the plant in the crate with something different, which I can't remember the name of just now, but it's really unusual I think. Although most of the flowers have gone since Sunday, because they were 'rained' off - can't complain about the rain though, this was the 'lawn' (aka weed patch) on Sunday - very thirsty!
Lastly, very exciting, the first bulbs that I planted in the garden this year were summer anenomes, inspired by the anenome blanda that I saw at The Courts in the spring.. and at last they have started to flower.. and well worth the wait!
