I actually took my photos for today’s Tuesday view on Monday (cheating a little due to time available!) but when I woke up this morning and raised the blinds, I was greeted by the first of my Oriental poppies. I know it’s just a small orange blob here, but soon the whole rockery will be lit up by them!
They were sown in containers many years ago, and then planted out late summer. Since then they have multiplied and come back reliably every May.
Now back to this year’s Tuesday view…
The Siberian irises are now opening alongside the early peony. I like these much better than the straggly bearded iris…
The Aquilegias are in full bloom now too, here with both bearded and Siberian Iris in the background…
And beyond the rockery across the ‘lawn’ the day lily foliage and Aruncus are getting taller and taller…
If you would like to join me in showcasing one particular view of your garden each week, to follow it through the seasons, please do! Just leave a comment below so we can find you. Thanks also to all those who have started to join in.

Happy gardening!
