The honeysuckle has really outdone itself now and the hummingbirds are so fond of it that they will buzz  you if you walk too near, particularly early in the morning. The foxglove is new this year and seems to be happy in it’s new home so far. I love the colors and scent of the marigolds and it’s just a bonus that they deter unwelcome pests. I think this year the nasturtiums have done better than ever before but I’m not sure if it’s due to the cool wet spring or the fact that I planted them on time. The oriental lilies continue to put on a lovely show and I really look forward to seeing them get better established and more vigorous.
