More flowers

The first three were taken on Bank Holiday Monday, when it rained all day. A bit of bright sunshine from the sunflowers.


 The two photos below were taken the following day - dry at least.

Garden flowers








Self-set sunflowers - from the bird feeders seem to be coming into flower just as we are having less sun. 
Hydrangeas have been treated and this year they have turned blue. We originally got these as cuttings from a plant in Newport, South Wales. On that soil they always produced blue flowers, but here they go pink.

Dexter cattle


These are Britatin's smallest breed, and originate from Ireland. More info here.
