Last opening time (2008) the rose Paul's Himalayan Musk was glorious (see pictures below). This time, same weekend, not a flower. Two days of sun should do it so Wednesday perhaps. Too late. Still we say we are tidy for one weekend every two years and we are not far off, if tidy is interpreted vaguely. A last minute effort with lawnmower and strimmer should make a difference. This year, there is a scarecrow theme - see later post. The picture above is one the punters won't see - the crab apple which flowered a month ago. Now the flowers are white Wisteria sinensis, who was first discovered (I am reading) by John Fortune in Ning-po, China, around 1840, and the rambling rose Rambling Rector. Thw wiateria is on the way out, the rose just starting. I will take a photo tomorrow.
