I can’t believe that August is half way through. We have had quite a bit of rain followed by sunshine, on and off all month, which has meant that flowers are blooming everywhere. Quite often August is a dry month and the garden suffers, plants stop flowering, going over much faster than usual, but this year all the rain has been such a benefit, especially for the Hydrangers which have been providing colour for about 2 months now. I watched the weather forecast and quickly took my photos a couple of days ago, I’m really glad I did as we had non stop rain through the night and most of yesterday.
Hydrangea under the kitchen window.
I think this one is H. macrophylla Mdme Emile Mouillere and has been wonderful clothing the wall at the front of the house. The pink mophead hydrangea in the distance is by the front door, at the top of the drive.
