Dew on The Alliums


A beautiful summer's day with a clean fresh breeze. At 7 am this morning the alliums were covered in dew, sparkling like diamonds in the early morning sun. Today, the roses in the white wall , which form a diagonal break across the new planting have started to burst their buds. The fragrant,arching "Nevada" with it's parchment semi- double flowers is inter-planted with David Austin's "Snowden" Rugoa Rose. The fragrance is pure and arresting when it touches you as you walk by!
