Summer’s here

and our beds are showing their best. Day lillies are coming into their own and the last of the climbing roses are dropping petals. A true Rose Walk.

Petals
Literally. It’s a very light pink variety climbing rose. It was here when we moved in almost 20 years ago. Struggles with the shade but blooms reliably.

Kousa
Good show from the Kousa this year; starting to fade now. The white plank in the lower left is a boom crotch; washed up at Beatons years ago. It supports one of the lower limbs. One of these days I’ll elevate it but some floatsam works for now.

Astible
Astilbe, Heavenly Bamboo, Greenleaf Holly, Kousa and a new Begonia. View from the couch in the TV room.

And early last weekend. The Astilbe will be in bloom for a few weeks.

Sjogin pics soon but not from this weekend. Bit too breezy to go down and watch the first start for Spyder. Went out early Saturday though but left the camera home. Just as well as I missed my landing for the first time in a while. Had to back the jib, fall off and jibe. Good practice.

Later.
