Bloomin' Loverly

Bumbly bees all over the cranesbill. Had to stand amongst the floaty purple flowers long enough to catch one. Bees won't harm you , as long as you don't harm them. They just buzz about their business, and zoom past your ears once in a while.
Yellow iris, closeup. Cleaned up the masses of irises last year, and this year they are coming back nicely.


Clumps of irises.


White, like paper flowers......




White stars......




Small peach roses......the roses are actually behind, becuase it has been so cool. They are struggling to come out, and it is damp for them.




Red Poppy centre.......looks like a sea creature....







Red poppy the size of a dinner plate......





Can't remember the name of these.....but they are purple......I know that!









Left side of front hill....................








Delicate Cranesbill..........they scatter far and wide. Have to keep them under control.................










California Lilac.............very strong scent....
