It's been raining all day.
A real shame as there were outdoor events all over the UK to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee.
I had intended to be in the garden... I still have some bedding plants to put out.
There is something about flowers in the rain.
The roses have started to bloom and the begonias are doing well.

that is a shame about the weather! i know all of england is trying to celebrate this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely roses and begonias. It is a shame that it is raining on the Queens celebrations. I hope it stops soon. Lovely photos, Andrew!
ReplyDeletesorry about the rain on the celebration. lovely begonia, i can't tell you how many begonias I have killed in my life time, they just don't like me
ReplyDeleteThe weather is being very patriotic isn't it. Lovely pic though.
ReplyDeleteBad weather, but a very nice picture of this rose.....good work Andrew.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Wonderful first picture! I love the light in it.
ReplyDeleteA shame about the weather. Too bad we can't do anything about it. But it does look nice in your photos.
ReplyDeletethey are all beautiful but the roses just tugs at my heart
ReplyDeletemuch love...
yes I'd been hearing about the Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the dismal weather conditions. Sweet rose and begonias. Same here, weather has been grey, cold and showery but at least we can call it winter now, officially.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the rain. We've had rain on and off all day in central New Jersey and all the flowers just seem to perk right up after a shower. Hmmmm, just like humans! BTW, the house sparrow video is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew...we have had over 5 inches of rain in the 24 hours..so we are just about floating here lol..
ReplyDeleteYour rose is marvelous delicate pink!!
I have a pot like you have your begonias in I should try that!!Cute!!
Love the birdies in your previous post and the video..great ; }

That pink rose is lovely. I just love that color. The begonias are beautiful too. I wish we had some rain. We need it so bad!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms!
ReplyDeleteOrange Lilies, have a great week ahead.
One nice thing about the rain is it makes for some beautiful shots! I love the drops on your flowers.
ReplyDeleteOh that rain has been crazy for you all!!! That's a shame. I do love the rain and wish we could have some here. Your flowers looks great....and at least you won't have to water the garden:) But it does mess with outdoor activities. Hope it clears up.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers won't mind the rain... I'm a bit tired of this yo-yo, we had 28° on Saturday, 18° yesterday and 16 are forecast for today. With rain...
ReplyDelete(Isn't summer technically beginning on the 21t?)
Too bad about the rain, although all the same that picture of the rose with rain droplets is beautiful. Hope your weather improves.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent pair of photos. The rose is a stunner...
ReplyDeleteLovely rose and I think I now need a strawberry pot for flowers! That is a great idea. Now back out to the garden for me as I have two pots to do and then I'm finished with the containers.♥♫
ReplyDeleteYour rose with the rain drops is beautiful!
ReplyDeletefotos muito bonitas e delicadas
ReplyDeleteLovely images! The first shot is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThe rose is perfection!
ReplyDeleteGreat images regardless of the rain. Richard
ReplyDeleteThe rose looks lovely after the shower! Such a beautiful pink!
ReplyDeleteIt seems hard to rely on old weather patterns these days. Some of our plants are blooming a few weeks early. And we're having trouble with rust and black spot on roses that are supposed to be disease resistant. Grrr.
ReplyDeletebeautiful garden and great pics
