The effect of Rain

I am normally complaining that we haven't had any rain but I can't say that recently as the weather has been very unsettled with lovely heavy thundery showers.

After the irises finished flowering the garden has been in a bit of a hiatus waiting for the summer plants to bloom. If I'm honest I have found it frustrating as I like to see some colour around all the time. This morning I toured the garden to check if anything had suffered from the downpours but to my surprise everything had responded well to the soaking and the summer blooming was just showing signs of starting.

Actually I thought the effect of the rain on the grasses made them look more interesting.
