The Poppies that have given so much colour are now starting to drop but they leave behind a seed head crammed tight with seeds for next year. The last of the Iris bravely tries to put on a final show…..

The Water Lilies are continuing for a while longer to grace the Lilly Pond and provide cover for the fish…..Water-Lilliy 

One thing we can usually guarantee is that we will have some Roses in bloom through till at least October…Yep they give us great value for our money……
