After the rain

[Georgie]

The garden has preferred the rainfall to last year's drought but lots of the blooms are rather battered on close inspection.  Still, it's nice to have a bit of colour.   :)  G x



Lily Orania which smells divine.



Verbena and Buddleia are about two foot higher than last year!



Fuchsia Carmel Blue



And still the Agapanthus refuses to open.



Fuchsia Beacon

Thanks Rosebud.  I've now got seven varieties of Fuchsias and I suspect I'm hooked.  I might even treat myself to a few more at the Capel Manor Summer Show at the end of the month.   ;D

Lovely photos G. As always. I've found myself hacking back loads of stuff in the garden this year. The combination of early warmth and sunshine in March and April followed by non-stop rain in May and June seems to have induced above normal growth.

lovely pics Georgie.  Some of my lilies were definitely warped this year.  Very mutant looking blooms.  I think I took them for granted last year and just ignored them.  Must give them a feed.

rdm51 gave me loads of different varieties of fuschias earlier in the year which are coming on a treat now despite the weather.

I must get out there and take pics to ID them properly soon as the labels are lost in a forest of foliage and keep forgetting which is which.

Don't it will be today though, rain looks like stopping play .... again.
