June 1st say the meteorologists is the first day of summer so I shall take my camera with me as i deadhead the spring flowers like daffodils and bluebells which have been so late this year and share them with you. The peonies definitely think it is summer.

Oh goodie - I love the picture threads !! Well done Marion
Summer arrived here yesterday. It went away during the night. Cool cloudy, northerly breeze. I took a few photos yesterday. Will they be eligible Marion?

Of course, nutcutlet(yummy). Rules are not made to be broken here but non-existent. I have done an hour's deadheading. Now for some editing.
My rainbow chard is delicious.
I have never seen so much blossom on the trees in all my many years of gardening. This is my hawthorn tree.
No rules, excellent

Herb Robert in my spinney (the wild part of my very large garden which can look so beautiful.)
Not sure nut but will take a look at a reference book later if it's any use
Lovely pix! Marion the hawthorn is magnificent- I fancy putting some in here but I always think the blossom smells of cat pee...
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
That is such a mix -up, i do not know where to start editing it! Nutcutlet i will try to find out at the Botanic garden next week if the internet does not do it.
Nutcutlet - looks like veitchii but mascula can be very similar in the pink form.
Here is a picture of my Peony I have got in a pot. The flowers are such a lovely yellow I always think that they should smell of lemons. Your pictures are lovely happymarion.
What a beautiful peony!
