There are so many plants in flower this month that I am breaking up my monthly garden post into sections.
Next on the tour around the garden is the orchard and vege garden.
Chives, with broad beans in the background:
The quince is covered in blooms:
They really are my favourite flowers in the orchard:
Not the usual apple blossom colour. This is a Redlove apple, which has red flesh. The red colour also appears in the flowers and the leaves.
Boysenberries:
Strawberries:
The currants are also flowering, but the flowers are tiny and the wind was blowing too much to get a clear photo of them.
And for something completely different, a carrot flower:
Leaving the orchard and heading along the driveway, there is a patch of columbines which have arrived from somewhere:
They are very pretty.
Next is a rugosa rose:
A patch of Portuguese squill:
The first of the regular roses. This one is Raspberry Tiger:
On the other side of the driveway is my peony bed. The peonies have big fat buds, so there will be lots of flowers later. For the moment, there is a few flowers left on the bergenia, and the Hypocalymma angustifolium behind it is bursting into flower:
I'll finish this post on the other side of the house in the new shadehouse, where this cymbidium orchid is opening its fourth flower spike:
And the dendrobiums are perfuming the air beautifully:
There's also a white one. Too bad you can't smell them from there!
With this post and the previous one, we are probably about half-way round the garden. I'll save the rest of the photos for another day, I think.

It is so nice to see things blooming--here we are covered in dried leaves..and the colors are very muted this year...so thanks for sharing

You have beautiful flowers. We have autumn rains. And the sad situation around coronavir. I wave across the ocean and wish good health. Marie
A joyful tour so far. Nice to see quince flowers again, mine are finished already.
Portuguese squill has to be the best name for a plant!
Your vegetable garden is full of colour in many tones. My chives never have flowered like yours.
We are having cold, rainy weather. No more flowers here. I love your orchids.
Your flower pictures are welcome now than we are moving into fall, and brown is the color here.
