The flowers are rather the worse for the rain causing spots and discoloration, but still going strong. The Pavrille just in front of it opened about the same time but the flowers have now faded.
Please excuse our scrappy looking fence, it's due for replacement this year
The pots sit against a fence, the sun rises on the left, and moves round behind the fence and sets on the right. The fence is probably facing about South-South-East, but I've not actually used a compass to check.
At this time of year our house (behind me when taking the pictures) shades the Cyps until about 10am, then our neighbours (the wall in the third picture) shades them a bit later and then they get shade from the fence. Evening light only clears the fence late on when it's not too hot.
However as the sun gets higher later in the year it clears the roof of their house and the fence for longer. I've tried to place them in the shelter of the broom shrub on the left (center of the last picture), but I have too many to all be shaded by that. Last year one of the Cyps did burn. However this is the shadiest spot I have as we don't have any trees close by.
