    Smashing pics again.
    How big are those leaves on the Podophyllum @punkdoc - dinner plate size? Fab. 
    I had that Nemasia once, @1Runnybeak1, delicious smell!

    It's clear I doing something very wrong with my oesteos. Those are amazing.

    Well, they look fab, and mine do not. I suspect they are better en masse. I have two small plants which are measly, with small flowers. I need to either take them out or add loads more... On an up note, I was advised on this forum that they take very well from cuttings. I took prunings in April and now have strong new plants. So hurrah for that.

    Yours are tender. Will you take them in or treat them as an annual?

    Just wanted to show you my peony.
    Eight flower buds on it. I planted it three years ago. 1st year , just one flower. Last year. two, then this year it seems to have settled down.

    One of my favourite plants. Stunning. I wish I had space.

     Various aquilegias and a Roscoea purpurea (short early form)

    Aquilegias are perfect late Spring flowers, @fidgetbones, and they don’t get slugged! 
    @Fire - I will attempt to keep them over Winter but not sure if they will play.

    My tender osteos did very well in the snow just gone, so, you never can tell.

    @AuntyRach. Yes they are about dinner plate size.
    How can you lie there and think of England
