Piccys - garden mainly

 
Clematis paniculata. This is a NZ native,  a variety bred in Akaroa. I was going to plant it around the back against the neighbours trellis but  never got around to it;  I left it in its growbag under the plum tree and it just took off. Now festoons the plum tree, most prettily.

The vegetable garden, somewhat overtaken with flowers and herbs.
 
 
The plant stall at St Marks School Fair. I bought sweetcorn, pumpkin, eggplant and marigold plants. Beautiful day, also bought some magazines and CDs - lovely Tony Bennett who's singing as I write this. So much pleasure for so little money.

The irises. Also note how the blue delphinium is the same colour as the window sill
 
 
 
Aquilegia

 
Iris bed from the other direction

 
Nice pale foxglove

 
Magnificent 'Red rooster' cabbage and mahogany pansies

 
Aquilegia - the old-fashioned granny bonnets. I think these look like clusters of white swans performing a synchronised swim.
