Sneaking in my colours of July at the last minute

This month the blues abound with this small campanula, and although more purply, this Clematis "Betty Corning". The plant grows like mad after being pruned heavily each spring, but the most memorable thing about this clematis is the fragrance.

We thought that we'd lost this rather blue/purple geranium, but it reappeared this year after about four years.

Putting on a good show in the front garden, we have a Cotinus cogyrria.

For a short while we also had a neat row of marigolds by the front door. Then one night it rained, and in the morning there were barely any remains. Some snails and slugs had been visiting. 

More pink this month with some self sown hollyhocks. 

Then,  found inside the back door one morning, a moth. After dark, when the back door was open, this sleepy looking creature made its escape.

And that is enough for now, more next month I hope.

Several other people have also listed their colours of July on Sue's blog.
