  A few from over the past couple of weeks... Took all the calendula out now as they overfilled the border, left one in and cut it right back! Think I planted them too close together🤔

  Thanks for all those colourful pics of your gardens, everyone!
  

  @pitter-patter Excellent association of "hot colours" in your last pic!
  

  @cassie.a.stewart Please try to refrain from posting that many pics in one post, for the sake of those members who have a slow Internet connection. It would also be nice to have the names of those plants/flowers, if you know them. Or at least number your pics so we can easily refer to them when asking for details. For instance your 3rd pic from the bottom, is that Artemisia 'Powis Castle' or maybe Artemisia schmidtiana 'Nana'? I've had them both in my garden, unfortunately they are short-lived. 

  @AnniD Thanks for those superb pics!
  

  @Jason-3 : Lovely Veronicastrum virginicum album! As soon as I find a likely spot in my--- overcrowded---garden I must get some of those.

  I usually do post names but I couldn't be bothered this time. It is Artemisia Schmidtiana.

  Thanks, @cassie.a.stewart That's what I thought. I absolutely love that Artemisia but it always dies on me in the winter. Doesn't like "wet feet".

  @Papi Jo your Echinacea looks lovely! I hope my "White swan" end up looking as good!

  I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

  It seems to have done well here over winter, though this is only its second season. I have it in a slightly raised rockery so that may help!
