The hebe looks pretty in the sunlight

There are fewer snails in the pond, I think the newts are eating them.

The wind is blowing the garden to bits and there is not a lot to photograph

Been there

The climbing hydranger is so beautiful

Bright sunlight the other morning

I've been given a stephanotis as a gift. It hasn't quite come out yet.

I found a very interesting poppy in the garden this morning, it is two coloured.

The irises have a very short flowering moment and they are nearly done. So here is a final offering for the blog.

The dark red poppies

These are the lilac poppies after some rain

This was the first strawberry, more are coming now.

And so back to the poppy...

There is this small orchid that lives outside and blooms faithfully every year

The climbing hydranger is covered with flowers

They are almost out today

Having declared yesterday my favourite flower as the iris, today sees the unfolding of a new poppy for the garden. And what an amazing colour!

I think these pond iris are my favourite flowers in the garden at the moment, even more than the poppies

Another poppy out. They are amazing.
