Fierce weather today, with the wind doing its best to blow all the blossom and fresh young leaves from the the trees. A few weeks of dry weather has brought the garden ahead of itself. I wanted to photograph my iris blooms, which don't usually appear until June, but the weather was so wild that I couldn't get the flower heads to stay still!
I've put some seedlings out to harden, white cosmos and hollyhocks, with a little help from my friend.
The ferns have shot up around the pond
and the hardy perennials are starting to put on a good display of colour.

We are going to the coast for a week, leaving early in the morning. My tree peonies will have finished flowering by the time I return so I've taken another photograph to remind me just how beautiful they have been this year.
Gorgeous flowers, everything blooming and growing !
ReplyDeleteI like your garden helper ;)

Beautiful blooms! Have fun this week. I hope you find wonderful things in the garden when you return. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of your tree peonies, have a grand time at the beach.
ReplyDeleteI have a yellow tree peony and like you I have only to be away a couple of days and I have missed it. But just for that little time it is lovely. Enjoy your time away.
ReplyDeleteDear Brit, Bonnie, Doc and Weaver, Thank you for your good wishes, we had a relaxing, sun-filled holiday - just what the doctor ordered! (And the garden has rioted in my absence.)
