Why no 'In a Vase on Monday'

I've been busy, and Mondays especially...then there has been the pollen.  Both Mr S and I have been affected by hay fever this year, and bringing more flowers into the house would just have tipped us into the very uncomfortable zone.  With local honey each day, year round, we are usually on top of things, but I have been having posies inside mid week including a lovely bunch of Lily of the Valley.

Instead a few shots showing the best plants in the garden.








And finally a little bug watch...a Maybug or Phyllopertha horticola, first time I've noticed this one in this garden.

    1. I had that shrub in my last garden, and as I was about to leave nine years ago, I found a branch touching the ground had sprouted a few roots. It is called Viburnum plicatum mariesii. It does not grow very quickly but makes a nice addition to the garden.
