Lupins The Governor & Noble Maiden ,salix flamingo, common geraniums, and foliage of plants I thought I'd lost (primula waltonii &alstromeria psittacina royal star).
For me the lupins are now taking over from the aquilegia which have been fantastic for the last month.. Oh and as always my various heuchera are looking particularly good too.
The last of my peony a large bush is in flower a Rubra wonderful deep red and the Cranes Bill that was at the other end of a west facing border has crept down over the years and clustered around the Peony, it is also in full bloom with its deep blue flowers buzzing with insects. Both are the best I have ever seen probably the warm wet winter we had. I sat looking at it after lunch thinking colour cards what are those, nature chooses her own companions.
At the moment it has to be roses, but which one is the best???????
I think it may be this one today. It is a climber and I have posted it elsewhere as well. It was planted out in autumn last year and is so full of promise for the years to come growing up over an arch
As the flowers fade the petals become an almost fluorescent pink and lose the white

It's beginning to go over now, but it's been an absolute picture.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
