Boy it's hot out there today. Regretting agreeing to play cricket later, not least because there are plenty of jobs to be getting on with in the garden.
June is here and much to the delight of the bees it's time for orange balls (Buddleia Globosa)

Sorry I haven't a clue. I think it's some sort of floribunda, about six buds to a cluster, flowers all summer, with masses of red berries in the autumn - no scent. I'm pretty sure it was a cheapo from somewhere. If someone thinks they might be able to identify it, I'll take some pics of the whole plant for you.
Such lovely photos on here and your Hostas look so healthy Stewyfizz, your tomatoes are so well organized too, let us know which produces the most fruit - y tomatoes are in pots this year. A couple of pictures taken today - thanks for the seeds Phillipa, the dianthus are far more productive this year, with many more buds waiting to burst openPrimula Vivaldi or something similar4 Conqueror flowers emerged in our pond today, love the colour which is neither pink or red
