Whilst my late planted annuals are just starting to get going, there are two things already available in abundance, so I though I’d bring them together.
Firstly, the Flower Carpet roses just go on and on. I did give them a water and some feed as they were starting to look a little exhausted, but they seem to have perked up.
And the second is sweet peas. Whilst the ones in the greenhouse have pretty much ground to a halt, those in the garden are in full swing. These bright pink ones are Lathyrus odoratus ‘Annie B Gilroy’ and whilst they’re not a perfect match for the roses, I rather love the clashing pinks.
The pinks were joined by some lovely fresh green mint sprigs, and, having already got sweet pea arrangements in three other places, guess where I put it?!
With thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden who hosts this lovely meme.

A bright, deep pink vase to cheer…we are both thinking pink this week!
Hope you’re also ‘in the pink’!
It’s a cheerful arrangement and that white jug sets the flowers off just right!
Thanks Kris. The jug’s by a maker called Susie Watson, she makes simple shapes but embellishes them with various jolly patterns.
Brilliant!
Thanks FD!
No dahlias after all – that was a surprise! Love this combination – ‘Annie B Gilroy’ is such a nice colour and I see that I will have to be kinder to my Magic Carpet roses as they have not done much at all – not sure that being in a pot suits them after all… Thanks for sharing Jen
I like to keep you guessing! Actually some of the dahlias still in pots are looking a bit peaky. Thank goodness I’ve got my HSDs to entertain me….
Flowers are beautiful and I really like the painting as well.
Thanks PBM. We bought it years ago in France.
Fantastic colour match of the sweetpeas and roses. Should make the bathroom smell sweet!
They do indeed!
How lovely sweet peas in the water closet
Every home should have them 😉
