It's been cloudy here today, but we've had the odd burst of sunshine. I was out taking a few photos and thought you might like to see what's been growing in my garden this year....

I just love poppies! And this year they've been particularly bright and cheerful.

This is a very old single rose, that blooms outside my kitchen window. The bees seem to love it.

And look at the colour of this cornflower! Together with poppies it's hard to believe they were once regarded as weeds of the cornfield, isn't it? The cornflower was popular in love divination, too!

This sweet smelling honeysuckle twines in with the pink rose outside my kitchen. There's a path just beneath it, so sometimes we have to cut it back severely. When we first moved here it was all overgrown, (a bit like the secret garden) and it was fun discovering where the paths led once we'd cut back the vegetation!
