My Flowering Garden

    Cooler today and overcast, just 25C. Yesterday hit 30C and was humid into the bargain. I had a bad night, tossing and turning until the wee sma' hours. A nap required this afternoon.

   I have two Wigelia bushes, one of which has been taken over by the Euonymous by the back fence. However, the other is just coming into bloom and is looking healthy (I lost a third last year as they are all "of a certain age"). Lily of the Valley is just coming into bloom this week too. I love its scent in the house!

  2. Nothing like real perfume from recently cut flowers to fill your home. Mmm lovely lily of the valley. We had rain last night and a shower this morning! There is that sultry feeling in the air so I'd say a storm is on its way. Siestas are very practical to make up for lost sleep :-) keep well Amanda x

    1. Thanks, Amanda. I have slept better the last couple of nights. We could do with some rain.

  3. Gorgeous blooms.
    I wish we had 25C here. We are struggling to reach 15C!

  4. Oh my goodness your shrubs are so much further along. That Wigelia is huge & looks gorgeous with all its blooms. I also picked a few of the Lily of The Valley blooms - oh the scent. Happy Victoria Day.

  5. I had a lovely Victoria Day visit with the family for a BBQ, staying outdoors even though all the adults have had their first shot. It was lovely to see them and hear all their news.
