The midsummer is close and the nature is at its best. The weather has been beautiful up here in the north, sunny and warm.
The reliable Chandelier (Lupinus ‘Chandelier’) has started to bloom. It has turned out that it is very suitable for this climate and has found a permanent spot in the flowerbed.
This year I do not have much time to tend the garden and have to rely on the perennials. Sadly ants have managed to find some of the flowerbeds and it has been a dry June, therefore I have few less flowers to enjoy.
Gardening in the North 
These are stunning. Thank you for sharing these beauties.

“Chandelier” is beautiful. Love the yellow. I’ve just planted Russell Lupins from seed – hoping they will take here because they seem to grow everywhere in the wild. So far so good! I will have to find Chandelier!

That is one beautiful plant! I’ve not had any luck growing lupine in my garden, so I love seeing others’!
