Back to the Garden

We are truly going 'back' to the garden this time, as my pictures are getting delayed by two or three weeks.  Never-the-less, the flowers are beautiful.  They last such a short time but their ephemeral beauty remains.  All these flowers are now gone, but others have taken their place.

The row of large Peonies, ranging from deep red to almost white, that are the big patch of spring colkour in our garden.

Of course my favourite is the deep red.

Over by the shed is our red Clematis, one of 10 that will bloom over the season, and one I can get close enough to to get a good close-up.

We've had two Lupins, the light pink ones removed because of aphids, and the red ones already gone to seed.

And finally the Allium is one flower where you need to take a very close look to appreciate the delicate details of the many florets that make up the flower head.  Now it's time to catch up!
