A few plants have been defying the recent lack of rain and throwing out some flowers. Here are some of them. The last one - agrimony - appeared of its own accord a few years ago and has been coming up every year since then. No idea where it came from, I don't know any others in the area.

K3 + Irix 150mm macro + 1.4TC.

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual.

1. Perennial sweet pea

Thanks folks, appreciated.

The geraniums seem to have been particularly good this year. They must like being hot and dry. 3 and 4 are variety Rozanne, which was voted by the public and growers as the Plant of the Centenary at the 100th Chelsea Flower Show in 2013.

These all have a beautiful softness in the out of focus areas coupled with a lovely depth of colour, a macro master at work
