The last of my recent pictures. I can't remember the name of the succulent which luckily over wintered outside here.The red flowering plant is Armeria growing nicely in our Belfast sink - grown from a seed collected last Autumn.
Just bought some of those Erysimum, @AuntyRach, gorgeous and lovely scent, even to my defective sense of smell. At least I think they are the same, labelled E. Allionii. They are filling in the gaps between new baby geums, until the latter grow up. A few border shots, all filling out nicely but a few gaps still to fill. As you can see, I like orange, unlike Papi Jo

Thanks @Eustace, its still a work in progress, as Perki says, purple spikes are Caradonna. It is nice but the flowering period is fairly short compared to the red Greggii and it tends to get a bit lost as other stuff takes over.
Hi @Perki, lovely to hear from you, it is indeed and I still remember your initial advice on Heleniums for it. In fact, I saved those lovely photos of your border you posted on my very first post to show me the different varieties, and one is my screensaver (hope you don’t mind, bit cheeky!).
I would say its morphed into more of a warm, jumbled, sunny border than ‘hot’ as such. Classic hotties such as cannas, daylillies and dahlias were banned by OH, who prefers cottage to exotic, although dahlias are steadily creeping in

I love your pond picidae, it looks so natural with the grass right down to the water's edge, as if it has always been there, and NO blanket weed, how did you manage that?

Your salvia nemorosa Caradonna ( @Eustace purple spike ) and berberis look brilliant together @Nollie is this your hot border ?
