Two of my favourites.
One thing ends and another begins. Just as I'm rueing the fading of the spring border, two of my summer favourites spring into life. Purple hazelnut fruits with their surrounding frill are just beautiful with the light behind them. And I love the vibrant, complex flower of Monard 'Cambridge Scarlet'. I know I saw both of these last year, but I never quite remember just how stunning they are until I see them again.

Purple hazel - Corylus maxima 'Purpurea' (I have to disagree with Monty Don - these do fruit and come true from seed)
