I think it’s been officially feeling like summer this month, off and on. Likely about all the summer we will get! My flowers are loving it.

The first roses of the year. I love them all.

Clematis – top one is one of the new babies from last year. Just opened this morning! The others are growing up the weed-willow I have in the corner, and are the main reason why this grey willow still lives here. That and the birds love it. And I have a wisteria growing in there, too! 

California poppies and a sunflower from seed. 

Something for the bees.

Native common orchids going crazy as usual. They have colonised my garden. I’m not complaining.

English lavender. The bees were loving this today. 

Iris iris iris iris iris iris iris iris iris! They are fantastic this year.
