Back in the garden: part 2

Its May 22nd now, the wind is screaming around my garden and I cant get out to take any decent photos, so I will use some I took at the end of last month.
My raised beds have done really well this year as you can see, especially my Aubrieta and Dianthus.
This next photo is of a tulip flower: I can’t remember what species of tulip they are. They put on a good show this year.
Not a good photo but hopefully you will know the plant anyway: Viola soraria ‘freckles’ is the name I think.
A lovely plant with really nice flowers in early spring.
This is my Kiwi fruit: looking good so far, but not expecting any flowers for another year or so.
This is a Pelargonium I am growing in a pot in the garden. The leaves are lemon scented: really nice.
This strange looking growth is a flower stem on one of my Thalictrums with unopened flowers on it. My mum in law (former nurse…) said it reminds her of ‘piles’!
Part 3 of the blog should be posted next weekend if everything hasn’t blown away before then.
Happy gardening.

You have these winds aswell ? :( It's rough here too :( more like winter. I hope the nice weather comes back soon.
Your garden is looking lovely. I like your raised beds. They are very pleasing to see.

Several trees down around the city after the strong winds and my fence nearly blew away! I lost 1 tall lily: it snapped off at the base, but never mind, there are plenty more in the garden.
