White Agapanthus, Courgettes and Hydrangea Seemannii

1     We have just two beautiful white Agapanthus flowers. They are being battered by the wind so I hope they survive.

2   Today we picked our first two courgettes (zucchini for readers from the US and maybe elsewhere too). I wish you could have smelt them cooking in a little butter with lemon rind – so delicious.

3   The sustained sunshine has encouraged the tight flower buds of the Hydrangea Seemannii to open. They are very delicate and pretty.
