We’re going through a dreadful heatwave which is defined here as any three days over 31C. It’s been going on for a week and though it’s finally raining, it’s beyond belief muggy.
The gardens here are gasping but gorgeous if my own is any indication of how lucky we are. Clematis are crawling all over various trees, shrubs and uprights.
This Clematis ‘Betty Corning’ perks up a syringa which, out of bloom, is rather boring. It makes me think I’ll replace the lilac with something much more exciting. Though I’d miss the exhilarating spring scent which carries right into our dining room.
Phloxes in bloom, a particularly revolting variegated foliage daylily, but some real beauties to be photographed as soon as the rain lets up.
