Bloom a hive of activity as crowds soak up the sun
Yesterday was such a bloomin' good day that the bumblebees weren't the only ones drawn to the flowers.
Budding gardeners Alannah Williams, five, and her three-year-old brother Tomás were snapped among the blossoms enjoying the sunshine at Bord Bia Bloom in the Phoenix Park yesterday.

Also coming to an end today is the sunshine, with Met Éireann forecasting rain over the next few days.
So the usual sunny start to the Leaving Cert exams will see a dry start today with some morning sun and isolated showers. It will turn cloudier during the day, with rain spreading across the country into the evening and turning heavy in some areas. Highest temperatures will range between 13C and 17C.
Tonight will start off wet but the rain will ease, leaving clear spells and some scattered showers, with lows of 6C to 10C. Taoiseach Simon Harris with his son Cillian, daughter Saoirse and wife Caoimhe during a visit to Bord Bia Bloom in the Phoenix Park. Pic: Chris Bellew/Fennell Photography
Tomorrow and Wednesday will see a mixture of sunny spells and showers while Thursday will see showers spread from the northwest of the country and there may be a spell of rain in the south.
After Thursday, the forecast indicates that the weather for the rest of the week will stay gloomy and 'largely unsettled' with showers and spells of rain.
