Surprising what's still in flower
This took a beating with the rain, but sheltering under the leaves
helped, and still pushing out it's wonderful scent.

The Wigela is flowering well, better than in the spring as nor the
Bullfinches haven't been removing the flower buds

Whilst the flowers are not at their best this hydrangea with its velvety

The rhododendrons are either covered with fat buds or none at all, Sacha

way off flowering
