☔️🍂When the rain in June carries on for days without a break you will sometimes hear the phrase 'unohana-kudashi' (卯の花腐し), a rather exaggerated concern that the newly emerging deutzia flowers will rot in the unyielding rain.

De natuur ontwaakt.
Wat mij betreft de mooiste tijd van het jaar.
Het dode maakt plaats voor groen, de eerste bloemen vertonen zich.

Ik geniet hier veel meer van dan de zomer waarin het veel te heet is.

Maar ieder jaargetijde heeft wel iets moois, toch?

#December 11, 1911
#OTD Victor #Lemoine, #French #Flower #Breeder, died.

The Lemoine #Nursery in #Nancy, #France survived 3 #Generations.

We owe a #Debt of #Gratitude to Victor for enhancing so many #Flowers in our #Gardens:

#Lilac, #MockOrange, #Phlox, #Peony, #Gladiola,
#TuberousBegonia, & #Deutzia.

His double-#Blossomed #Geranium was Gloire de Nancy. He #Bred a #Peony that could take a #Winter #Freeze & many #Gorgeous Peony #Creations.

This was a Cheering Up Mondays bloom in May.
