Beautiful plants and planting schemes, such a lovely thread to browse.
I love your fiery Achillea and Kniphofia combo too, @Big Blue Sky. I have Achillea Safran (similar colour to Walther Funke) with yellow Kniphofia Wrexham Buttercup but wanted to add an orange kniphofia, so will definitely look out for Timothy...
Heleniums looking good at the moment... Waltraut (foreground, more orange colouring this year) and Moerheim Beauty in the distance, under Agastache Black Adder.
This is meant to be Dahlia Noordwijks Glorie but doesn’t quite match the packet:
Rose Lady Emma Hamilton, regained a little colour having been washed out by heat and bashed by rain earlier in the year:
I've just spent the last hour and a half going through this entire thread and it confirms why I love visiting this forum. Simply stunning gardens and very talented photographers here as well. I follow a Texas gardening forum regularly, and some members there have incredible gardening skills such as I have just seen throughout this thread, but ever since our 6-wk driving tour of England, Scotland and Wales in 1980, the level of gardening skills possessed held by the average UK gardener simply astounds me! I can only hope to come close the the gardens seen in this discussion. My father was the talented gardener in the family and sadly, I did not inherit that gene from him.
