Midsummer flowers

 It is high season for flower blooming in our garden. The Fagerbusk (Kolkwitzia amabilis) has opened it´s pink flowers and let people visiting our neighborhood at Solvang open their eyes to the beauty. It was in 1901 that Kolkwitzia amabilis was found at 3000 meters altitude in the mountains of central China (Hupeh). Beauty-bush was unknown even to the Chinese before then. The plant probably arrived Norway around 1930.
The Rose tree are more or less cultivated weeds. This one has as earlier informed been creeping through the hedge from our neighbor, but some weeds are often very beautiful when blooming. (like the Dandelion)
Margerits (Argyranthemum) and pink Opium poppies are blooming in the flower bed together with other perennials. A short blooming period for the Poppy while the Margerits are showing its white (love - love not) petals till the apples are fallong om their heads.
