The roses in the border of the potager are in bloom. One is a single-petalled pink rose called ‘Dainty Beth’. The other is a rose called ‘Tiffany’, which is also pink and has a wonderful fragrance. I’ve been growing them for quite some time now; although they’ve lost some vigour and don’t produce many flowers, they do occasionally rebloom from May right through to autumn.
ポタジェのボーダーのバラに花が咲いています。一つはデンティーベスという一重のピンクのバラです。そしてもう一つはやはりピンクの香りが素晴らしいティファニーというバラです。ずいぶん長く育てていますが樹勢が弱って花数は多くありませんが、5月に咲いた後も秋まで時々返り咲きします。

The ruellia, which I’ve been growing for several years, are also blooming every day. Although they are day-blooming flowers that open in the morning and wilt by evening, they produce numerous buds and bloom one after another throughout the long summer months.
数年前から育てているルエリアも毎日花を咲かせています。朝咲いて夕方には萎れてしまう一日花ですが、たくさんの蕾ができて次々に夏の長期間にわたって花を咲かせます。
Gaura is also a summer flower. It produces many small, butterfly-like blooms, and the way they sway in the breeze is truly beautiful.
ガウラも夏の花です。小さな蝶のような花がたくさん咲いて、風に揺れる様はとても綺麗です。
The tiger lilies are also in bloom, attracting not white butterflies but large black ones that come to feed on their nectar.
そしてオニユリも咲いていて、白い蝶ではなく大きな蝶がやってきて蜜を吸っています。
These flowers are doing their best to bloom even amidst the intense heat.
厳しい暑さの中でも頑張って咲いている花たちです。
