friday flowers of the garden kind

no store bought posies this week....

it's been a while since we had

Friday Fleur's

 

mountain laurel

still in the bubble stage!!!

clematis

 

summer blooming... supposedly

 

 you can see how dry it is

more rain forecast for the week end...

yeah!!!

iris-to-be

these haven't bloomed for ages so it's nice to see they still can

 

 with the little bit of rain we had

all the blooms have

burst

and we have pretty outside

for a fleeting moment

self  seeded  Columbine's

they are spreading all over

and it seems the voles don't eat them

so...

spread out as far as you can

oh purple beauties!!!!!

 

this Clematis vine is one of the first plants I bought when we moved here

a life time ago

it didn't do at all well last year

but this year

it's come back somewhat

so cheers and hooray

so nice to be able to get up close and personal again!!!

and next to the vine

is the

Viburnum

which also didn't do well last year

but the warm and dry winter has made it burst forth

with

flowers

all the plants I bought eons ago

have white flowers

still love them

they glow in the shade of the woods

 

husband seems to be blowing leaves again

so I helped by taking pictures

it's something for him to look at when he's lying on the couch

exhausted and aching

 

really.......

it helps
