This year the April showers have waited for May to arrive.
Some of the May flowers in Our Garden@19.
We hope they will still be flowering at the end of the month.
The Lilac, in the South facing front garden, was here when we bought the house, it is a darker colour in real life than in the picture.
The narrow border along the drive is planted with Iris and Catmint...
...two unknown Iris...
...this one might be 'Alcazar.'
Any ID help would be appreciated.
This raised bed edging the patio is planted with Siberian Wallflowers and Allium 'Purple Sensation'...
...which could be described as either a 'Bold' or 'Brave' colour combination!
Calming things down and covering a large area in the Green and White garden is the
Clematis montana 'Wilsonii'...
draping over the Berberis thunbergii 'Aurea'.
Weigelia 'Victoria' with dark coloured leaves, always flowers profusely, with Euphorbia palustris providing a zingy yellow...
...to complement the A. 'Purple Sensation'.
In the shrubbery, Rhododendron Yak flava is in full flower.
Ending in the Oriental Garden, Azalea 'Panda'...
...is brightening things up during the (April) showers.
