    My garden looks as if my whole family jumped out of the car, put whatever they fancied in the trolley then rushed home and planted it.
    The leaves look like rose leaves to me Joyce.

    My garden and planting are like any pets I have ever had, mongrels with lots of character and I love 'em. <3

    None of the descriptions suit our garden ... let's just say 'it has it's moments'  ;)<3B)

    PF - I like your garden (mole) heaps better than that fruit salad one!

    Those white foxgloves in Lyn's garden are absolutely stunning and I agree with PP - think its a rose Joyce.

    If it takes my fancy then I will plant it. If if survives and looks good it stays. If not something else soon takes it spot
    when we moved in around 5 years ago the garden was much more formal with mature shrubs and lots of grasss. I have added extra beds, made wider the existing beds, kept most of the mature shrubs but added more flower type plants. More hard landscaping with a much bigger patio and wider paths. Lost a lot of the grass and added loads of pots. It is a work in progress and will never be finished as it changes and evolves each year.

    My garden has grass in the middle with bits and pieces of shrub and plant scattered around the edges.
    "An explosion in a paint factory". What a great thought. I would like a garden and a life like that.

    @pansyface your garden is lovely.  I thought it was mine when I first looked at it, quite similar.  The picture you put up originally, I must admit would be my ideal garden, to sit and look at, but I'm sure I'd get bored soon enough.

    You need to have an option for 'looks like a field and someone planted a few flowers in the corner' to cover mine.
    I'm not sure I'd go for the fruit salad garden. A bit too.....well, a bit 'too', I think. I'd be much more at home in pansyface's - that looks lovely to me - snowdrops :). And I love Lyn's. That's what mine is hoping to be like when it grows up.
