after walking around the garden after work today, some of the flowers that are now just sprouting are truly gorgeous. Scented garden roses (David Austin) in pale pinks and peach, Peony, just about to open with tight buds still to come. The Cotinus is rich in colour, deepest red with the sun shining on dark red foliage, and the salix in creamy whites and greens. Viburnham snowball, some of the biggest we have had, now starting to drop its tiny white flowers.
Some of the true English flowers now coming into their own, with lavenders (butterfly and old English Hidcote), and bright red geraniums that remind me of holidays abroad. Flowering honesuckle over the fence, and scented jasmine, so strong in the evening.
My favourite time of year!
