    These are fab. I love your daughter’s posy @1634 Racine. I must do one this week...

    An impromptu jar (found an apple sauce jar in the shed!) as whilst checking the pots tonight I found a Salvia stem broken. 



    Salvia (Joy), Brachyglottis, Philadelphus, Lysimachia vulgaris, Dianthus (Candyfloss), Spiraea Japonica (?Goldflame) and something yellow (from a variety seed mix). Backdrop is Alchemilla Mollis.

    That’s lovely, @AuntyRach. I like the salvia in particular.

    Thanks - the Salvia smells delicious - a bit herbal rather than flowery floral.

    Today.

    Will attempt to list from memory, so a mixture of botanical and common names, and lots of genera because I didn't choose / plant lots of them so don't know what they are!

    In no particular order: Sweet pea ('Old Fashioned Mix'); Philadelphus; Rose; Erigeron karvinskianus; Solanum jasminoides album; Spirea (probably japonica 'Goldflame'); Heuchera; common sage; Linaria purpurea; Centranthus ruber. 

    PS: OH appears to have recycled my pretty jam jar. So this one is peanut butter.

    And a very nice peanut butter jar it is @LG_ . Your flowers are so much further on than mine here in Scotland. I may just go out the front and pick some roses rather than my perennial borders round the back. At least my roses are well out!

    Roses from my front garden - all shades of orange. And a stray marigold.

    They are luscious, @hogweed :smile:

    I meant to comment on @AuntyRach's salvias too - such a clear colour.

    I love those salvias @AuntyRach but salvias don't normally survive a winter here with me.

    Lovely posies 😊
    My Salvias are in pots so they are moved to under the potting bench over Winter, and have some slug protection too.
