Rainy Bloomday in August

It was a wet morning, so I put on my raingear and wellies, and had me a nice soft photoshoot. Here are my flowers blooming in wet Ireland.
.
Wild fuchsia, still buzzing with bees. They don't mind the rain.
.
One of my sweetpeas, from a mixed color seed pack.
.
Self-sown nasturtium
.
Sulking Impatiens
.
Heavenly scented honeysuckle
.
Campanula
.
I don't know what this is, but bees love it. Each flower spike looks like a curled up caterpillar.
.
Anemone (I took this photo yesterday)
.
A runner bean flower, against my purple plum tree.
.
Violas, self sown all over, and continuously blooming since early spring.
.

Not a flower, but very colorful. Moyesii rosehips
.
And lastly, some wildflowers in the potato patch.
