May in all its glory

The rain continues to pour here and we have yet more storms forecast for the next 10 days. The wet weather all year has produced incredibly lush growth and the irises in particular have been the best they have ever been. I have rushed out whenever the sun has shone during the month in order to capture the flowers on camera before they were ruined.

Here is a selection of the photos I took.

We should have opened the garden last weekend!! However we were helping 3 other people in the Open Garden scheme who opened theirs. The weekend was a great success despite the tremendous storm which raged all Sunday morning.
