Dahlia Arabian Night, dahlia pom-pom, David austin rose, david austin rose Gertrude Jekyll, Fragrant English Rose The Lark Ascending, in a vase on Monday, rain, Sanguisorba officinalis 'Red Thunder'
It is a wet Monday morning here and the flowers have taken a bashing. Roses are flowering again and dahlias are in full flow. The petals of the roses are slightly bruised.
There is Lark Ascending, Gertrude Jekyll and an unknown very pale pink, almost white rose. It has a delicious rose scent and a delicate appearance which is endearing but it does seem to drop its petals rather quickly.
I have added Sanguisorba as contrast to the soft petals and because I love them. The scent is room filling and rather wonderful. 
Then there are the tiny dahlias. I have picked the small dark pom-poms and Arabian Night. There is a couple of the pink Cosmos and Sanguisorba. A miniature bunch suited to the tiny vase which belonged to Heather, much missed. 
We needed the rain. So if you have a bunch of flowers to pick in your garden why not bring them inside and share the image with Cathy the host of this meme. https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com Be sure to send a link back to her site. Have a good week.

You must be thrilled to have all these blooming after the short time your garden has ben in existence. Like GK, I am still waiting for my sanguisorbia to flower and I have had it 2 or 3 years… 😦 You have some gorgeous roses your first vase is full of such soft colours but I also like the drama of the the second one – and Heather’s vase is indeed a pretty one
Thanks Cathy I forgot to put a comment on your page.. I love the close up picture you have done, it shows the abundance and range of plants in your garden as well as the harmonious blend of colours. There is so much in the garden right now that I forget that this time in 2014 it was still a paddock full of nothing but grass and damaged trees. I have no idea why your sanguisorba has not flowered, has it enough space?
Still forgot to put the link.

That’s cheered me up to see the luscious selection from your garden after a day of catching up on admin. Today I stopped procrastinating!
It’s such a good feeling when the rain comes after a long delay. That first arrangement is especially luscious!
It’s not a problem we usually have but you are right it was welcome and the garden has perked up already.
We had rain here too today. Your roses and Dahlias and Cosmos are extra pretty with the raindrops on them!
No such luck here, but I’m so happy for you…and shall keep on wilting. Beautiful flowers 🙂
The sanguisorbia is such a lovely touch.
Thanks Kate
These are lovely! What does Sanguisorba smell like?
I’m not sure, I will check and report back
I have been out to take a sniff and it is indescribable Eliza. Not unpleasant, quite weak, you have to put your nose right up close ,fragrant in a fruity rather than floral way.
