What's left after the rain?

Went for a walk in my garden after breakfast today to see what was of interest after the rain. Apparently we have had the worst rain storms in 50 years. We can forget the roses until they come into their second flush later in the Summer.
At least there is a lot of lush green.
I am also getting bored with garden postings so will move on to other subjects of interest. For now, my garden today.
Colourful Spirea
Hypericum

Lavender

Minature Thyme
More Lavenders
And More
Two Coloured Spirea
How do they do that?

More Spirea

A battered Rose
Shrub mixture

Spireas again

And again

Lacecap Hydrangea just coming out

    Glad to know that you survived the rain, and the garden seemed to come through it not to badly. Do you make lavender sachets with all that lavender? When I was young my sister and I used to make them in the summer and give them as Christmas presents to all the female members of the family. The mere smell of lavender can take me back to my childhood garden.

    What a nice garden you have! It seems you like roses as much as I do... We also have at the moment very heavy rain here in Switzerland. And in April we had the summer weather which we are now longing for.I enjoyed visiting your blog!
    Have a good time!

    I'm sorry to hear you've been ill, and hope that your recovery is complete. Your garden is lovely in spite of the rain. We got back from our lovely trip to find delphiniums and roses in bloom. It's been cool here and my tomato plants are a little behind.

    Dear Barbara,

    Thank your so much for visiting my garden blog and leaving such a nice comment!

    My garden has a German "flavour"? Interesting, I've never thought of this before. What kind of details are you thinking of? What, in your opinion, does the English garden differ from the German one?

    Best wishes from Germany,
    Anita

    Rain in Britain, draughts in the south of Europe.....we hear alot about it in the news up here in Norway.
    Seems like your garden still looks very beautiful.
