Blogging has been a little sparse lately what with the open gardens in June, neither of us enjoying the best of health this summer followed by a holiday to help recharge the batteries.
Summer has now arrived at Our Garden@19, I have taken the camera around to record what is flowering, there is enough for two posts, this is part one.
The first to greet us as we go out through the dinning room doors is the Geranium 'Rozanne' growing in pots, it flowers non stop as it is sterile...

...the Dahlias in the raised beds edging the patio are now responding to the warm weather, this is my favourite, David Howard...
...along side is this lovely red Pom Pom D. Tam Tam...
...also D. 'Twynings After Eight', with its delicate pink veining...
...and the red 'Bishop of Llandaff.
Through the arch into the Blue Border is an unknown apricot dahlia with Lychnis coronia, surrounded by Persicaria 'Firetail' and right at the back Veronicastrum 'Fascination'.

The Viola cornuta 'Alba' is a wonderful value plant, grown from seed over ten years ago, it flowers non stop from June through to autumn, only requiring shearing off before winter...
...also in the white garden is Astrantia major, much loved by pollenating insects.
The colourful shrub Lycesteria formosa 'Golden Lanterns'...
...is accompanied by, Clematis 'Mme Julia Correvon', one of several Clematis now flowering...
...C. 'Perle d'Azur'...
...climbing high into the Prunus serrula is the Japanese Clematis fusca, with its furry small bell like flowers...
...in the white garden, new this year, C. 'Mrs George Jackman' is announcing her arrival...
...as is C. ? from next door's garden, (they don't know its name), it obviously has no respect for the colour theme!
I hope you have enjoyed this first part of Our Garden@19 summer garden tour, what is representing summer in your garden?
