I’m really not the biggest ‘flower’ person. I have some favourties that I love, but generally would rather take a nice big tomato anyday. This one however, even I have to admit, is stunning and thus deserves it’s very own journal with multiple shots :D

1, 2,3 – Kamatanishiki, the one with Tea to show that the flower is honestly as big as her head!!!!
4 – Also blooming … the purple sensation alliums
5 – Sweet woodruff is also in currently flowering.
