More Garden in June

The first blooms of ROALD DAHL David Austin Roses 
I planted the bare root in early April.

This splendid architectural 'thing', was originally about 10cm tall from Auchan with about 5 other small 'thing' plants, four of which died.  The other ground cover plant can be seen just behind it. This has been moved at least twice, but seems happiest in the lavender and rose bed, so much so, that this year, after growing more spiky leaves that I keep away from, it bloomed for the first time.  YUCCA Gloriosa. I was intending to move it as it is in the wrong place for my lavender plan!

Grellier in playful mode - neighbour's cat who cheekily slinks indoors to be gently shooed away.

Two 'surviving their struggle' roses, peeping from behind lavender.

At last these are flowering, having moved from several gardens to here - from the garden of my Aunt Ivy - deceased 1994

Uprooted after flowering, before they seed, ORIENTAL poppies which were glorious, but now need to be hung to dry,
once stems can be cut easily in half.

Filled with prunings from Paul's Himalayan Rose- see images in previous posting.

The gardener clipped off the shooting branches which were new growth looking for jungle trees to ramble through!

This can be a secret haven BUT that there chair has got to go as it is most uncomfortable and always has been.
I think maybe to buy a stripey deck chair..
