Garden delights

A tropical day with temperatures over 30 degrees centigrade. Just for half a day, and then we got thunderstorms and rain. And all this after a very cold spring, with people yesterday still wearing warm down jackets.
 Two climbers, a beautful but very strong pink rose and a white clematis.

But before The rains came I took a few pictures of flowers in my garden, which are at its best at this time of year.
The first flower of my mini waterlily. It opened on June 4th, whereas last year the first flower opened on May 1st! 

Let us hope this is the beginning of higher temperatures and summer!
 My purple climber which looks like the pink, wild roses which grow in the dunes on sandy soil. This one has a wonderful smell, like the wild ones.
The modest flower of a geranium
 The surprising "flowers" or perhaps just seed pods of an acer, such a contrast in colour to the very bright and almost fluorescent leaves.
