Trusty Robin

                 You can always trust a Robin to turn up for the camera.

Look whose back.

Normally I would have been taking lots of photo's of the flowers in the garden but a combination of weather, new cats on the block and Rosie the Roe Deer the garden hasn't been very good this year. I have to admit Rosie has caused the most damage finishing off the Roses, the Sidalcea and all Cranesbill before moving on to one of the Acers and half the Smoke bush.

Phlox

My mum always did love Phlox flowers, whether annual or perennials. These perennial Phlox have flowered well for the last few years but with all the rain we have had it was difficult to get a picture of one without water damage on the petals.

Pretty in Pink

Sidalcea is a genus of the botanical family Malvaceae. It contains several species of flower known generally as checkerblooms or checkermallows.
