AStrid, clematis jackmani is wonderful!
I love your shrubs roses, nice color.
What a great collection of flowers! Loved the Clematis jackmanii, and the roses, well I love roses, any type of roses :-)
We have many of the same blooms this June. Love them all. Happy Bloom Day.
Hi Astrid, I noticed a robin yesterday snacking in my Service Berry and so I think the pretty berries will be short lived. You have a nice range of plants and roses in flower. The clematis are all lovely too. I have a climbing hydrangea too, but mine rarely graces me with flowers. They are very slow growers it seems. Have a great weekend!
Hi Nadezda!
I plan on buying some more exotic clematis, but you're right! You can't beat good old jackmanii when it's in bloom!
Thanks for your comment.

Hello Helene
I'm beginning to fall harder in love with roses lately! They certainly are beautiful and such a joy to photograph. Hopefully you'll get some sunshine in London soon - fingers crossed!
Astrid
Hello Layanee
Thanks for your comment! Yes, I looked at your blog and we do have many of the same plants. Always interesting to see how and where someone else has planted the same thing. Happy gardening!

Hi Jennifer
I've had that climbing hydrangea for over 20 years and it's a consistent yearly bloomer but it did take a while. Hang in there - yours will bloom soon! I am headed out to give my annuals a haircut and to fertilize. I'd better get moving - they promise some very hot humid weather over the next few days!

Lots of beautiful blooms that would never cope with the humidity here. How wonderful to be able to enjoy them through GBBD and your blog.
Welcome Marisa! I'm glad you enjoyed my GBBD post. I'm glad Carol "invented" the meme because we get to meet so many other gardeners "virtually". I plan to take a very close look at your blog soon but already enjoyed what I saw. My son spent a good deal of time in Brisbane after University - working both at a restaurant/coffee shop and a Thai restaurant. He loved it there. Thanks for your comment.

Beautiful blooms! Jeannine
Welcome Jeannine! Thanks for the compliment. It's easy to get good pictures at this time of year - everything is blooming so beautifully. I looked at your blog as well - stunning! Thanks for visiting mine.
Astrid
Its too blooming cold in my garden at the moment Astrid and not nearly the amount of fabulous plants which you have.
Hello Alistair
Sorry to hear it's so cold in Aberdeen. It's almost too hot in Canada! The extremes are never good. I'm sure something Wonderful will bloom in your garden soon - it always does!!
