Lupins! And they’ve not been eaten by slugs or aphids…..yet (plenty of aphids around at the moment). Be aware that lupins are toxic to pets. Our dog ate one when she was little. She was fine but I think she was tripping her nut off 😬

The size of this peony flower 😍. This is a tree peony which flowers before the herbaceous peony. Despite the name, it’s not actually a tree but a woody perennial. It stands around 6’? It doesn’t flower very long, but once the blooms are over, the plant still provides structural interest in the garden, especially when the foliage turns from green to bronze/purple in autumn

Darmera peltata giving us a lovely display along the stream bank. It flowers on tall stems which will then be followed by large, almost rhubarb-like glossy green leaves. The leaves then turn red for autumn……pretty much year round interest 👌

This cherry blossom though…….😍

So many beautiful plants in flower along the SW coastal path (this section just past Port Isaac). Amazing how they stand up to the elements. Look at this red campion getting blown around on the cliff top
