Flowers and fruit.

It's a shame some flowers are so short lived,  these lilies have been out for about a week but are already losing their first blooms...


there are 5 lots of lilies in the front garden,  this year  2 or 3 separate blooms have come up from each bulb  - I suppose they are more mature now.  These are under the peach tree,  peaches just visible above the flowers.

A better view of the peaches..

Lots of pears again this year, never fails,  vary rarely seems to have a rest year either, unlike some trees.


And the capers are blooming too,  if you look just behind the  left flower,   there are tiny flower buds ready for picking and brining to use in cooking,  then   the central stalk in the flower becomes the seed pod that when bigger is also picked, brined and served as a tapas.
