I've had a couple of visits to RHS Hyde Hall in June. These are my favourite images from the 12th and 19th. These thankfully were non-rainy days, lots of sunshine, colour and wildlife.

Geranium sanguineum, common names bloody crane's-bill or bloody geranium, is a species of hardy flowering herbaceous perennial plant in the cranesbill family Geraniaceae.
Geranium sanguineum is native to Europe and temperate Asia. It is widespread in most of Europe up to Caucasus.
The typical habitat of this species is grassland, sand dunes and open woodland on calcareous soils, including rocky slopes. It prefers calcareous soils with low nutritional value, at an altitude of 0–1,200 metres above sea level.
This plant reaches on average 30–50 centimetres in height. The flowers have a diameter of 2.5 to 4 cm. and are purple. The flowering period extends from May through October (from Wikipedia).
