Summer has arrived

happymarionhappymarion Posts: 4,591

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.

    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? image

    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.

     I have never seen so much blossom on the trees in all my many years of gardening.  This is my hawthorn tree.

    This is one of my species paeonies. I grew two new ones a few years ago and forgot which was which. It's either veitchii or mascula, anyone know?image

    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.
