Wow! what fantastic pictures everyone, and who said June was lull? I can only echo what Victoria has said, your gardens are a credit to you.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the woodbine at the moment. The scent is so wonderful, I'll need to bring in a cherry picker to reach any of the rainier cherries further up the tree but hey ho leave them for the birds, as the scent filled the whole garden and is so worth it.
MrsGarden they aren't white, a sort of peachy / pink with yellow in centre. If you want some seeds PM me when they are working again & I'll collect you some, need sowing when ripe in the Autumn, me thinks. Wish they were white
Whatever colour - they are lovely KEF.. My orangey ones didn't do much at all, as I swamped them with some poppies. Hmm, got those as tubors so maybe seeds would be too tricky for me..
Wintersong, I am also very taken with the plant in the first picture (I thought it was geum, but may be wrong). Do you know the variety? I am looking for things in that colour to go with the rose I have ordered. I have the ubiquitous Mrs. Bradshaw, but yours looks a different colour. I am a long way from opening to the public!! I was asked to do the village's 'Open Gardens' thing this year, but I don't feel ready really. The raised beds have been neglected due to the goings on in the paddock, putting up the greenhouse, etc. and they are a tangle of things in the wrong places.

More lupins
Self seeded foxgloves now open
Little owls live in the flower cups
Just being fanciful.
peony "bowl of beauty" just about to show off. I love it.
These are all fantastic, everyone! I might even go into ornamentals!
Steve, surely one or two can't hurt.
LesleyK, there really are little owls in the foxgloves.
My youngest is particularly proud of his pumpkin.
