Hello friends,

I'd thought I'd share with you some of the plants flowering in my garden right now.

First up, my roses have finally started flowering, including my favorite, which is Blackberry Nip, and also the new rose in the back garden Gertrude Jekyll. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the first rose pictured...

My two new Hostas, Purple Heart and Sleeping Beauty, are looking amazing with new foliage.

And the pansies I grew from seed from Emerden Garden, Antique Shade and Mulberry Shade, are looking amazing now they are flowering. I'll let some set seed at the end of summer, and then that way they'll populate the garden in years to come.

My cosmos are now flowering as well. I have two new varieties this year Sunset Tones (Kings Seeds), and Strawberry Blonde (Emerden Garden), are now starting to flower as well.

I still have unknown ranunculus flowering in the back garden, and all my peonies are about to burst into flower soon too.

There's even more plants about to flower around my garden, but that'll have to wait until another blog post. I've even spotted some of my older dahlias beginning to form flower buds...

Have a wonderful day

Julie-Ann
