The Early August Garden

Our garden never looks at its best this time of year. It will be OK in a few weeks with Rudbekia and Japanese Anemone in bloom but there's a gap at the moment. The woodbines are in full flower and the climbing roses just fading. The trick is to look for the small hidden things like the Harebells and Houttuynia above. They grow and expand year after year with little care or attention. My kind of flowers!
