Ceanothus - Skylark

Today we planted some of the plants, which we bought yesterday; it was a joint effort of digging the holes and putting them in. It was dull all morning and we had decided that we would not be able to plant them and then there was a brighter spell around lunch time. However, before we got them all in it was already raining heavily; we got rather wet.

This is one of the flowers on the Ceanothus Skylark, one of the shrubs we planted; if you look closely you can see the pollen. We managed to get all the Rosemary and Sambuca plants in, but the Pyracanthus, which are to go in to fill in some of the gaps in the hedge will have to wait for another day.
