Flowers of midsummer

Song of the blackbird. These are frequent visitors to my garden.

"Hi hi" waves a cheeky viola. There are several flowers opening up for the first time today, midsummer's day. The faeries have been through the garden and put thier magic spell on these, and the plants respoded by waking up and having thier first look at the summer day.

Feverfew, when these start blooming, I know summer is truly here.

The first field poppy greets the day. And as is common with these, it has planted itself into my veggie garden. See the rocket behind it?

A chrysanthemum daisy with a little insect.

Verbena.

And the first philadelphus flower.
Have a magical midsummer's day, and let's hope the fairies visit all your gardens.
