These are the flowers we had in the garden in early winter 2016, taken mainly on 17 June 2016. They're not all overly pretty, but the purpose of the photos is to record what was in the garden at the time.
There were pretty slim pickings this month, considerably fewer than this time last year. The roses still have flowers (“flowering” might be overstating the case), as are some other flowers. On the other hand, the Camellia japonica in the pot in front of the house has a large number of buds, and even a flower:

All in all, though, not very encouraging. This time last year we had Cyclamen and Azaleas flowering, but neither are now, and the Azaleas are not looking at all happy. They probably need more protection from the elements.
