The garden looked beautiful in the sunshine today. I took these photographs.
We have successfully grown this clematis up the trellis in the front bed. Over the last five years, we have had several unsuccessful attempts to grow climbing roses, clematis, honeysuckle, but all of them died. This year I watered regularly and fed with a good quality fertiliser. The flowers are huge and amazing.

"Love Skye-Love Nature-Love Life"
Skyenatureblog.com provides an artistic journey through the seasons, describing the natural beauty of the island through, prose, poetry, art, photographs and videos. I hope to give readers a taste of the Skye experience.
I hope you enjoy the journey
The Isle of Skye has dramatic mountains, wild glens and amazing seascapes; it offers a varied wilderness for free spirits. There is an abundance of hidden places full of native trees, wildflowers and wildlife to enjoy, in peace and tranquility. This sensational Island changes constantly through the seasons, with wild Atlantic storms, snowy mountains and balmy Summer nights with spectacular skies. The Summer wildflowers provide a colourful feast for insects, which feed the many species of songbirds, both native and Summer visitors.
