I think we can say that we have had rather a mixed week weatherwise this last week, very strong winds, lots of rain and also lots of sunshine, although when I was working in the garden yesterday I had hailstones bouncing off my head! The week has passed by so quickly and it is time for SOS again.
Azalea.
A little Japanese Azalea on the rockery, looking very colourful at the moment.
Clematis Lasurstern, I think, in the back garden by the conservatory. This was here before we came so has been here longer than 35 yrs.
Allium.
Allium Purple Sensation in the back garden, this is the first one to open.
Yellow Rattle.
The yellow rattle seed that we sowed from the plants in the meadow last year, are now flowering and we have lots more this year than last.
Weigela.
Weigela variegata, which is up near the pond is looking rather nice at the moment with its pale pink flowers.
Another Weigela, this time a dwarf one, on the rockery which has white flowers and brown/purple leaves, also looking rather nice.
Rhododendron.
It’s Rhododendron time again, this is another plant that was already here when we came to Devon, a rather nice pale lilac variety in the back garden.
A lot more rain is forecast for this weekend and most of next week, but that means that I can watch the Chelsea Flower Show if I can’t be out working in my garden, I’m sure there will be lots to give me inspiration! Once again, thanks to Jim at Garden Ruminations for hosting, if you like plants and gardens, do pay him a visit.
I think it must be weigela week, there seem to be a few beauties about. Lovely little azalea. Enjoy your rainy weekend
