Last week, during one of the many rain showers we had, there was this beautiful double rainbow.
It was there for about half an hour and these were the best photos I could get. I think it's always magical to see a rainbow.
The plants have loved the recent rain, except when it gets too heavy and batters them too much. This little geranium sanguineum striatum is shyly starting to flower.
The astrantia above was bought at one of the only three RHS Chatsworth shows there were. Sadly, the RHS have decided not to hold the show there any more, but to focus on the bigger and more well attended shows. RHS Chatsworth had only just got going really, but there we are.
I think this one may be 'Star of Love'.
Galium odoratum (woodruff) seems to be making itself at home at the back of the border and is giving a froth of little white flowers.
Geranium Phaeum is always reliable and is loved by the bees. The alliums and roses will be next to flower.
