Lockdown 2020. May garden photos

This is a virtual garden opening since the country is in lockdown to counteract the coronavirus Covid 19. Jean and I survived the 2003 SARS virus while visiting China. Many of these photos have appeared in a daily Facebook feed. This draws them together. Naming every photo will take time so bear with me. I am covering May to  July 2020 in the first instance. Since my wife Jean is paralysed, we can no longer work as a team, so thanks to my other helpers Grace, and Conor's team.
