You just know that summer has arrived when you have Royal Ascot, Wimbledon and The tour de France in succession. Can you tell I am an extremely fanatic armchair athlete?And there is the summer solstice of course...
We have just had the longest day of the year, but there is still plenty of sunshine to enjoy! The garden is looking lush at the moment, and everything seems to vie for your attention.
The lily in the front of this picture needs an award. It appears every single year, yet has never bloomed, for the simple reason that is is eaten every single time by one of those pesky orange lily beetles. This year however, it has come further than ever, so ... we live in hope.
The rest of the garden is just a lush riot, it is gorgeous, if you like the ordered chaos style of gardening that is.
My favourite rose of all time deserves a little spot in the limelight too...
Enjoy the sun and the green spaces in your area!
Het ziet er allemaal mooi en groen

Your gaden looks delightful - I can almost smell the herbs. xx
ReplyDeleteZijn vervelende beestjes ja, die leliehaantjes. Ik heb er al veel gevangen en naar de leliehaantjeshemel geholpen dit jaar !!!
ReplyDeleteDe haantjes zelf zijn niet zooo erg, maar hun vies glibberig vraatzuchtig kroost !!!
Grrrr.....je moet steeds op jacht om ze weg te vangen!
Fijn weekend.
Nog bedankt voor het Iris aanbod, maar als ze niet echt rose zijn.Ik ben op zoek naar rose soorten.
Groetjes Thea
Your garden looks a riot of flowers. How nice. I must say that we are not able to spend much time in the garden so far this year. We have a terrible problem with our home after the kitchen pipe burst and now have to stay here while the dryers are working in our home. We cannot leave them alone as they dry out the walls. We decided since the house is a total mess why not make more mess. We (or I should say Jos) is painting the ceiling of our bedroom. We will give it all a good clean too and I am washing the curtains as well as the bedding. Fun to do in this humid weather...lol. I am afraid our garden at Cranberry Cottage is feeling very neglected.
ReplyDeleteHow is your reading coming along? I am reading Lori Smith's A Walk With Jane Austen between some stitching and all this work in the house.
