That last rose is lovely, Yvie. I think I've seen it at Wisley. I think it has a strange name?
The wild orchid photos a while back were beautiful.
All I have to offer today are these self sown poppies that are doing their thing. I would not have chosen that colour, but I'm very glad they did - it's perfect there

It's actually Linaria purpurea rather than Nepeta - another thing that arrived by itself but that I now I rely on! There's loads of Verbena bonariensis in there too.

Nice and sunny day here in North Wales after ages of cloudy and rainy days.
The main star at the moment is this lupin in my front garden
The one at the back garden is only just starting
These are 8 lupin plug plants I received for free with my order from jparkers at the end of February. I have no idea what to do with them and they are mixed colours, so for now, they are potted like this (I know it is small for them).
Lovely pics. Lupin envy here as my garden is not conducive 😔 I have battled to nurture and save my last Lupin, but this year it has not flowered so the slug-battered, aphid-attacked specimen will soon start its next life...as compost.
