May bank holiday and the garden is looking colourful


The grass is lush and the forget me nots are just about to be pulled out, having got quite leggy. The camellia has finished and sadly one cold night has made the rhododendron flowers turn brown but the rest of the plants are zooming up including the honeysuckle I put in earlier this year up against the fence. The two new roses are starting to grow with healthy new foliage.  I can't believe the size of the rose bush in the corner of the garden, it is a pink thorny one which I thought was a small patio rose (Jane Wood gave it to me for my 50th birthday) but this year it's going mad and putting up lots of tall new shoots. Not a patio rose!

Leaving in a few forget me nots

The clematis is beginning to climb, with some self seeded aquilegia.  There is a French lavender in amongst the forget me nots.
