Coming up roses...
Lovely scents in the garden at the moment - sweet peas are starting and the roses are coming into flower. Can't resist cutting them for the house and love them mixed in with the frothy lime green of alchemilla mollis.
It's also the only time of year when I have even a small corner in my heart for ground elder.... If it wasn't such a thug, it would actually be quite a good plant as it has lovely bright foliage and stems and gorgeous airy white flowers. The fact that I have hack them off before it can spread seed anywhere else means that I have lots to stuff into my flower arrangements - it is very pretty though. Pity I hate it for its invasiveness...

| A mixed bunch of roses, knautia, alchemilla mollis, ground elder and pink and white snapdragons. A few sprigs of pittosporum are great with their variegated leaves and dark stems for contrast. |
| Wish I could add smellivision too.... Gorgeously scented. |
