Garden explosion

Summer is here! (Even though it's been raining heavily on and off for what feels like weeks now)

The difference in just a few weeks always astounds me - it's been such a colour explosion! The strawberries are coming faster than we can eat them and the roses are so heavily in bloom it feels like they're threatening to collapse the entire bush. The beans are still a fair way off, but they're winding up their bamboo stalks more and more each day.

And how about the photo of the cactus in bloom! We haven't seen that flower before and it must have been all this rain that's finally inspired it to open up - and such a bright, vibrant colour too. 

Now all we need is the sun to appear so we can enjoy it...

A very green garden (8 June)
A fortnight later (22 June) - the rose bush is nearly collapsing under the weight of all those flowers!

What a stunning pink cactus flower!
