The philadelphus is getting towards the end of its magnificent flowering period. There always seems to be rain to spoil the glorious parade of white. A couple of weeks ago I was hanging out washing in the sunshine and the soundtrack was of maybe fifty bees buzzing away furiously behind me, giddy with all the nectar. I couldn't think of anywhere I would rather be.
So today I have planted these:
Sixteen of them altogether. That should keep the bees happy.
You can't have too many lavenders. Having spent most of the last twenty years obsessively growing vegetables, I'm now returning to flowers.
