    Sitting under the shade of my apple tree - the Astilbes having their moment. 


    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Super pictures of lovely flowers here.
    Logan4, I’m not a lover of roses but that yellow/ lemon one is stunning! Perhaps the colour has attracted me but whatever it is, it’s gorgeous!
    Thank you Hazel,  some yellows i don't like, but that one is different, it's about 6in across which is big.
    Gosh, that’s a big rose, you're almost converting me Logan4!😁
    That's great :)
    It's been in the garden for about 20 years but i don't know the name of it.
  • Those Bishop's are stunning @Fire.  I have them here too, the bees go mad for the single flowered Dahlias don't they?

    @Guernsey Donkey2  Yes, the bees love the singles. I have to say that I only have them because of advice on fleecing the pots from the forum. I was entirely shocked that they made it through the winter. I have not managed it before. It is some kind of magic to see the new green shoots coming through in April and in July to see fireworks going off in the garden.

    I am getting to know how best to arrange a small garden for colour, wildlife and ease. It's a slow arc but good fun when a piece of it comes off as envisaged. I have a bit off a pash' for dahlias, it turns out. The sunflowers will join them in the next few weeks. 🌺 🌻

    Very nice Dallas @fire i don't grow them anymore because of the slugs and snails, the bees go for single flowers on everything but they do like the doubles if there's a open center to them. :)
