    I love this thread too, so inspirational! None of my local friends are ‘gardeners’, so for me this is just wonderful!

    Cheapo Morrison’s clematis. In less than a year it has half covered the arch.
    rhoddie. The white has not done as well as the pink this year 
    the pink rhoddie has surpassed itself for the number of blooms this year
    the azealia had a poor year last year but has rallied this. I threatened to send it to the compost heap if it didn’t start performing and it clearly listened.

    Wow! Sussex!, my Rhodedenron is nowhere near flowering, I expect it's because it's cooler up north 🙂

    I have one that has already finished flowering for the year. Two in flower now and one more still to flower but I am on the Sussex coast so do get the best of the weather.

    Ho that's a lovely picture Sussex and the 🐝 Looks happy too 🤗 I always try to get plants that bees love.

    The tulips are nearly over so it’s time for the alliums and apple blossom to take centre stage.

    That’s a lovely scene @Picidae. I love Alliums! I am pleased to see that my Alliums have returned this year, after their first year from bulbs, although I would like to add more of the Purple Sensations -they are superb flowers. I have underplanted them with a seed mix of pollinator-friendly flowers but not sure if the timings will work out...

    Thank you. The brick shed was built about 1870 and is very like the little shed cabins found alongside railway lines. It is likely that the house owner at the time worked on a nearby railway and probably filched the bricks to build the shed. We have a photo from 60 years ago that shows an open door where the fountain head now is. Anybody taller than 4’ 6”” would have to duck to get in.
