Feeling a bit like Julie Andrews I was able to capture "raindrops on roses" when I did finally venture out with my camera.
To my delight this beauty is by my kitchen door and makes me smile every time I pass by.
The decades old wisteria, that was growing rampantly across the garden when we came here 20 years ago, continues to thrill with it's heavy flowers and heady scent.
Orange and pink tinged honeysuckle and apricot coloured climbing roses grow up through the Virginia creeper and bring colour to the front of the Presbytere, bursting through the relentless green to find the light.
A hot pink rhododendron rescued from the reject corner at the Jardin d'Elle garden centre six years ago has also benefitted greatly from the damp days.
Hoping the sun comes out this weekend...........

Rain, rain, rain here too, but I did get out in the garden late this afternoon to cut back the day lily stems that had blooms out. Your flowers are gorgeous. Love the rain kissed bloom. Just read about all the flooding in France. Hope you stay high and dry. Austin is fine, but much flooding just to the east. So sad for those who have lost much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful set of pictures, so colourful despite the grey day, your garden is a delight!

ReplyDeleteA garden in the rain is the picture of spring. I love my mind's eye picture of you booted and {old} Barbour-ed.
ReplyDeleteLovely flower pictures, especially with the raindrops. Hope the sun shines this weekend. B x
ReplyDeleteWe too have suffered with much rain but I like you I was not brave enough to venture out into the garden to sort out our must do jobs. You put me to Shane bathe flowers in the garden look perfect
ReplyDeleteHi sweet Maggie! I read about all your rain! Lots of tea required! Your flowers are gorgeous. Great 5!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful set of flower photos. I can almost smell the fragrance from the wisteria, honeysuckle and roses. You have plenty of space for your rhododendron to thrive and it's lovely.
ReplyDeletePretty flowers - even if they are in the rain. I hope the weather has improved now. I've seen the news reports about all the flooding over there. I hope you escaped it all.

ReplyDeleteLovely flower photographs. I especially love the roses.
ReplyDeleteReally like your raindrops on roses and the wisteria.
ReplyDeleteJust enough rain does certainly make everything beautiful. Our summer heat has settled in and will only get hotter with no chance of rain in sight until late in the year. Right now it's 10:20 am and 43C degrees. Ugh!
