Blossom At Last!

It seems as if I have been working in the garden for weeks on end and yet nothing much was in bloom.  Then, after a couple of warm, dry days the garden seemed to explode into flower.

So this evening I thought I'd take a few photos...

We have a bumper crop of ox eye daisies.  I've been digging up clumps to give to my friends but they seem to just keep coming. 

They ramble into the irises and through the rose bushes. 

The quince is doing well...

And this azalea is humming with bees.

As the light fades, the very first rose of the season gives out her perfume.  It makes all the waiting and weeding worthwhile.
