My columbines are absolutely gorgeous this year! I took this photo on June 1st and the columbines (Aquilegia) are still blooming and look just as lovely as they did two weeks ago. I can’t believe they survived the heatwave we had last week, nor the storms we’ve had this weekend … but they did.

I have a beautiful close up of these flowers on my photo blog right now if you’d like to take a look at a really gorgeous photo.

It’s been raining on and off this weekend. Actually we’ve had some mighty fierce thunder storms (Friday and today). I’m hoping that it will clear up soon as I have a few flats of annuals to plant and now that my roses are heavy with blooms they’re drooping – some branches are even touching the ground – so I must get out and stake the roses.

I’m also hoping that it will clear up enough that I can take some photos, because as I said most of my roses are in bloom and it’s just a delightful sight.
