Our
garden sometimes presents photographic
opportunities. Here are a few from June. In early June, the day was windless so the pond was very calm and not ruffled by any breeze. ![]() Turning just a little to see reflections in the smooth surface. ![]() During the month, a Calibrochoa from last

It was not supposed to survive the winter but did,
despite total neglect by us.
![]() Here is the trough it is in.
Now we will give it some fresh compost, hopefully
without disturbing it too much, and plant some new
stuff round it.
![]() At the front of the house, we had a horticultural surprise last year. We have had a Passion Flower bush growing intertwined with other bushes and trees for many years, but it was not on the house wall. Last year, it began to grow among a big clematis on the side of the house, having apparently leapt over the intervening very solid path. This year, it is ahead of its parent plant. ![]()
![]() Sometimes even a
decaying leaf is useful, particularly to a
Dragonfly.
![]() The Day Lily gives a soft spread of colour - until the sun shines directly on it. Then it demands attention. ![]() There is a lot more on my website but it is not about gardens. If you want to start at the top, here is the link. Guy Gorton 25/6/2017 |
