We have had a night and half a day of lovely gentle soaking rain, with, I think, more to come. The garden dried out very quickly after a week of hot sunny days, so hopefully this will set us up for the next slab of hot weather. As it was raining this morning, I picked this particular time to go outside and photograph a couple of stunning plants. The rhododendron next to the post box gets almost luminous in certain lights, and the azalea next to the house has been wonderful for years. Unfortunately, after all this time, it is getting bare underneath, so when the flowers are finished, we shall bite the bullet and cut it right back. I am sure it will bounce back, and look lush again, although on a smaller scale.
