It’s a beautiful morning here.
It’s sunny, quite humid and 19 degrees and it’s only 8am, lovely. My kind of weather.

I’m a person who always walks around the garden from about 5.30 onwards and it always gives me a thrill to see the unfurling buds on all of the plants.
This morning i thought i’d show you 2 new unfurlers !!!
Clematis ‘Niobe’ and Cistus ‘Ladanifer’ both unfurling this morning

And Ipomoea ‘Shiva’ .... she’s been flowering for weeks

Here is Rosa ‘Summer Wine’ ..... she had a stalk ripped from her by a passer-by, don’t you just hate some people?

Gorgeous Cistus ‘Ladanifer’, unfurling …...i love this plant :))

Clematis ‘Dancing Queen’ has been flowering for a couple of weeks now, i love her :))

Oenethera ‘Apricot Delight’ has been flowering for weeks now, lovely pale colour.

Clematis ‘Arabella’

And gorgeous Achillea ‘Rose Madder’, just starting to open up, i love this colour – a pinky rose, a bit shorter than usual too.

Diascia (can’t remember its name at the mo!)

Astrantia ‘Buckland’, i love this one too !!!

Well, it’s so long for now …. work’s calling me, but, i’ll be back …... !!!
Enjoy the day :)

Monday's nearly over for me Louise - but it was lovely to see your blog at the end of a long day (it's around 6.00 pm here). That cistus is just beautiful as is the diascia. You have some really lovely plants in your garden - it would be a great way to start the day walking around your garden!

Brilliant pictures, I too like wandering around in the garden very early, and I love to do it after rain in the summer such a lovely smell, it should be bottled.

What a delight to read this on a Monday morning and such gorgeous flowers! I am one who pops out in my nightie before anyone gets up and cruises around the garden to 'check' things are as they should be. When I went to bed this morning I heard the first birds singing at 3:45. Usually I wake up in bed to hear them. I must be living in a different time zone mentally when I have these late nights. Something goes wrong with my biological clock I think. Should live where Bernieh lives - ahead of myself. Got woken at usual time 5:50 with a cup of tea and stepped onto the treadmill for today. Hope you have a good one and all your admirers too.
I shall have to lie down soon as we have appointments this afternoon and I need to keep awake.

Beautiful pictures! It's a lovely day here too, down in the far west of Cornwall. Isn't it nice when the forecast is wrong, but in a good way?! They said it would be cloudy & misty, especially near the coast, which I am, but there's not a cloud in the sky.
My sweetpeas are coming on a treat. I will have to start taking pictures too.
Hope your day at work is ok.

Wonderful flowers, very pretty but so pleased to be looking at them once the streets have aired.I so admire early risers and know that I am missing the best part of the day but I am often awake in the early hours for no good reason so when breakfast time comes round I am ready for sleep LOL It wouldn't do for us all to be the same would it? I know the early bird catches the worm but I don't like them! Sue

Awww c'mon, try just 1, they're tasty :))

No i agree, it's no good having us all the same, what a boring place it would be !

Your garden just keeps getting better Louise,
You can put me with Grannysue, I'm often up till 4-5 o clock watching the hedgehogs and our 'pet' wild mouse who lives under the shed He/she often makes a guest appearence just before dawn grabs a quick salad for his breakfast!!
I personally like the pre dawn with the dew and its all quiet, you feel like the only person on earth who's awake.

H & K's.......Ian

How could you bear to leave this for work, Louise? Yes, I love having a wander round the garden at 5.30am b4 setting off to work - nothing like it! But your gorgeous pics make it all look simply stunning! :-)
