    Scarlet Pimpernel.  Not everyone's choice as a pot plant.  I think it would look good in a hanging basket but I don't have them.


    philadelphus that I grow for the lime green leaves in the spring. 


    Unfortunately, they turn darker as the season progresses.

    Grasshopper, I think enjoying my geranium Alan Mayer's.


    I cant decide if it fits in my red, white bad blue border or if it's too purple.. It looks purple in these pics but more blue from far away.


    Oriental poppy about to take over the world, I think!

    @AlliumPurpleSensation Your grasshopper looks like it's the speckled bush-cricket (Leptophyes punctatissima). Great shot!

    I love your garden Picidae. It highlights perfectly the balance between hard landscaping and planting, and how beautiful it is when you get it right  :)
    Particularly love the view from the conservatory - statement pots are gorgeous. Again - it shows how big an impact that makes, rather than lots of little ones. Superb.
    Janie - your poppy pix are really stunning. It's like pleated silk in that first one - just bursting out  :)  I can;t get a good macro shot with my camera unfortunately, so I love the really good close ups others can get.
    AlliumPS - your geranium and cricket is gorgeous too  :)
    Glad you figured out how to do the pix, Pete! I like laburnums, though many people don't. They've become unfashionable, or something daft like that.
    I love the seedheads on my little Lemon Beauty clematis

    Bee enjoying the new Centaurea Amethyst in Snow

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
