Surprises in the garden

We have had lots of rain this spring.  In between we have had lots of mild sunny weather and it seems to be working wonders for the lovely flowers that continue to surprise.

The borrowed landscape from next door gives us much pleasure as well, azaleas, clematis and the red hot poker keep coming back year after year, but this year they seem more prolific than ever.

Such a delight to take a walk in the garden at this time of year before the weather becomes too hot.
