  • We all wish we had some of the best of everyone's plants and flowers in our gardens, well I do anyway, so now I am showing a few that are perhaps not so hardy but apart from the Bougainvillea (which is in the cold greenhouse), all the other plants survived outside during the colder and wetter than average winter here in our garden.

    Fab pic's all, liking Hostafan's lake with tree reflections, Chrissy's close-up poppy heads with valerian behind and Mrs Garden's combo of grey wood with pink flowers. Cool🙂

     
    Rose Veilchenblau, fell off fence last storm but doing ok

    The end is nigh for this part of the front garden, going to turn it into a nice parking space.😬 Rose rhapsody in blue, linaria, some sort's of eve primrose, Shasta Daisy, Rose Hot Choc, Lychnis Chalcedonica.

    Pear Invincible, Rose Summer Sweetheart, Willow, Valerian, Borage and Welsh poppy.

    Some gorgeous gardens on show all. Would love to be able to grow bougainvillea, with this weather though you never know! I now have foxglove envy, is it perennial punk doc?
    A few from the last few days, a foggy morning and some scorching summer days..


    Rambling rector and the big alliums just going over




    Lots of Scabious and Mallow coming through in the wildflower areas now


    Astrantia Roma popping up through alchemillia mollie


    More wildflowers. Oxeye diasies still going strong, bladderwort and not sure what the foamy white one is?



    Achillea and Nepeta Six Hills Giant, which is about ready to chop back


    Cant remember what this is, anyone? Its about 6ft tall and quite sprawl though, I always forget to figure out what it is and whether I can chelsea chop it


    Lavender, Hidcote I think 


    and lastly a gatekeeper on the wildflowers. So many butterflies this year over this way, the wet spring and hot summer seems to have worked wonders for them

    Yes, D.parviflora is perennial.

    Jellyfire, your 6 footer is Campanula Loddon Anna.
