@sterelitza - is the above pink flower the red flax?
@Fire the main 5 petal flower in the middle photo, and the same flower in the bottom and right of the last photo, is the Red flax. It looks really bright red to me rather than pink, maybe my eyes are going or its it's just a different shade on your screen!
In the last photo, if you look straight up from the white cosmos, you'll see a couple of pinky red cosmos. Those look pink to me!
As you can tell, I'm a massive fan of backlighting! I've got a few more recent ones if anyone's interested; I didn't want to bore everyone with a full 'slide show'!
Some pictures of my so called hot border today, neither the colours or temperatures actually hot
From the other end
The delphiniums are nearly finished but I love the contrast with crocosmia lucifer. I start of with well planned colour contrasts etc but usually the plants do their own thing, anything that works is happenstance rather than design.
@KeenOnGreen no these aren't smartphone shots; phone cameras are great, particularly since you carry them everywhere with you, but they still have one or two drawbacks
The downside to bulky dslr's (apart, obviously from their bulk) is they need some post processing (I normally only shoot in RAW, the files are too big to upload to most sites, and I actually enjoy tinkering with my photos), so when you can take a coupla hundred photos in minutes, they take some going through. It normally takes weeks for me to find enough time to do more than just load them onto lappie!
Here's a couple I took this morning before the heavens opened
Clematis 'Samaritan Jo'
Argyranthemum in a hanging basket
Turk's cap(?) lily. We've had these in our garden for nearly ten years and this is probably only the 2nd or 3rd time they've ever flowered, thanks to lily beetles
Ok, it's not a plant, but she's definitely part of the fabric of my garden (along with her rapidly expanding extended family)!

A few images from a surprising lovely late afternoon....
