there are now beautiful lilies
and hydrangeas
echinacea

Oh wow, your pictures are just a feast for the eyes, so much colour and those fabulous butterflies. I was laughing at us both posting our Hydrangea pictures this week. I can’t wait for mine to be fully open like yours are. The red currants look fabulous. I also wish we had hummingbirds over here, I’ve seen them when I’ve been on holiday and they are just so tiny and wonderful to watch 🙂

@Nichola,
thank you Nichola. the red currants were picked this morning before the birds got to them all and are now being made into jam. 🙂
