Mock Two was created by artist Benjamin Entner. Mock Two is the second in an ongoing series of large scale sculptures. These sculptures are designed to look like model airplanes - wood framed, rubber band powered, plastic, red propeller-only at adult scale. Mock Two is modeled after a kit airplane of a WWII Grumman F6F Hellcat.

I sure enjoyed the lovely Mock Orange blossoms while they lasted. They are starting to lose their petals now.
In my garden.
This one small shrub completely fills the summer evening air in my garden with the most amazing fragrance. Every garden should have one!
Another one using textures and such like the previous upload.
Happy hump day!

Mock oranges have it rough here. Not enough moisture in spring to keep the flowers from drying out in spots, they will be frost bitten by the snow we expect on Friday. Their sweet scent, for a week or so, makes their suffering meaningful.

Latin Name: Philadelphus 'Virginal' - mock orange
In June and July this lovely deciduous shrub is smothered with highly fragrant, double, pure white flowers among dark green leaves that turn yellow in autumn. This tall, vigorous variety of mock orange looks wonderful towards the back of a mixed or shrub border, where on warm summer evenings, the delicate, orange-blossom fragrance floats on the breeze. It is a magnet for bees and can also cope with urban pollution and salt-laden air. The large, white, deliciously fragrant flowers are what earns mock orange a place in the garden.
This variety has double blooms that are produced in loose racemes from early to mid-summer. It is a deciduous, upright shrub that's fully hardy, but very vigorous, so needs to be given plenty of room to grow. The leaves are oval and dark green. To keep plants in shape, mulch around the roots in spring with a deep layer of well-rotted garden compost or manure and cut back shoots to a strong buds every year after flowering. On older plants, also remove roughly a quarter of the oldest branches each year to encourage new growth. To propagate, take softwood cuttings in summer or hardwood cuttings in autumn or winter.
This photograph shows the exuberant beauty of the open double flowers!
Photographed in our back garden, this is planted on the end of our back border opposite a side gate entrance to the garden!
This is part of a spring floral series, showing some of the colours and plants in our garden in April/May/June.

Looks like a giant Coronavirus but the red fruit is mock or false strawberry. It is in the same family as true strawberry but is not good eating but won't kill you...as far as I know. The plant looks a lot like wild strawberry but the flowers are yellow rather than white as are strawberry.
