It's such a shame. I love the idea of a Philadelphus hedge. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-18967036227525921362021-06-25T00:31:02.729+01:002021-06-25T00:31:02.729+01:00I've got white foxgloves too, they've appe...I've got white foxgloves too, they've appeared by themselves in a dark, ivy-clad corner and they've really lightened it up, quite beautiful.

Last year we watched the summer solstice sunrise from the field behind my daughter's house and it was utterly spectacular, I knew I couldn't beat it from my doorstep this morning but it was still worth it. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-24500927935164372792021-06-25T00:26:49.512+01:002021-06-25T00:26:49.512+01:00I love foxgloves, these ones came by themselves an...I love foxgloves, these ones came by themselves and I'm delighted.

There is a hedge of it at the bottom of our Crecent and it is looking and smelling lovely at the moment.

I wish there were some of the white ones though - they are so gracious. we regularly get a red kite here but I will keep my eyes peeled for sky larks.

There were two bees going crazy in the centre of the oriental poppy. We are blessed to have gifts of honey from granddaughter's boyfriend's parents bees. It's good to catch up with your news. Have a lovely Summer.
