Mornings in our garden in June and July are wonderful.

The deep red freesias, need quite a bit of support through canes. this might however be due to the fact that I did not plant the bulbs very deeply into the soil. They are beautiful though, don’t you think?
As expected, the freesia stems have started to bend so that the five flowers on each stem face upwards.
Below is a lovely white flowering climber which no-one has planted, but it is very welcome in our garden.
The blossoms open only in the morning.

In the meantime, I hope your garden is doing well too and thanks very much for watching!
