Pops of Colour in the Garden

Plants all around the garden are bursting into flower. Here's a few that caught my eye today.

The first of the roses is this rugosa:

Many other roses have buds, so we should have plenty of flowers soon as long as we can keep the rosellas away from them for a while.

I noticed this iris had started flowering a couple of days ago;

I was completely surprised by this one on the other side of the house today:

It is actually a much deeper purple that it appears in the photo. It looks great against all those red tulips in that part of the garden.

And speaking of tulips, the final layer of flowers in the layered tulip pot are opening:

They look pale pink from the outside, but the inside is vivid orange.

For the last few months I've been posting pictures on the 15th of everything in flower. But this week our internet connection has been incredibly slow, uploading photos is a painful process! On top of that, it seems that just about everything is in flower, so there would be dozens of pictures. So I might have to give the full catalog a miss this month.
