What I love about tulips. So uptight and then Bleeah!
9th June: Clematis Mrs Bateman, bought at Ingliston Show last year. I usually just buy at local garden centres but thought I'd buy something a bit rarer as it was Ingliston. It grows up the trellis arch - glimmering at the bottom of the garden..

This peony sulked in the shade and I moved it to a sunnier spot two years ago but it still failed to bloom. This year, however, there were 16 magnificent blooms. And they say peonies can't be moved. Having been uprooted from Wales and all my friends there and taking a few years to settle into Edinburgh, I empathize! Blooming now too, of course.

22nd June: day after Summer Solstice. Not brilliantly sunny but at least it didn't rain. We gave a 128th combined birthday party for us 3 and invited a small group of friends. This year a Big One. Son J's 18th. You can guesstimate the Hub and mine!

And it was sunnyish. And we were able to use our patio garden. And the garden looked lovely.
