Plenty to catch your eye Mary! Aliums can look good all summer even when they go to seed, I leave mine till late Summer and bring them in to dry and use in Vases, sometimes spray them gold/silver. Well done love the two tone Aquelegia from seed, first time for 2 years I've got Lime Sorbet from seeds collected last year growing got about 30 ,alas won't be flowering for another 2 years.
Never mind the Mother ,Ben, is that your greenhouse, so gorgeous, I dont have a smart phone, (apologies if these pics on this site were all taken with mega bucks cameras, and I have no clue, how to put anything on anywhere frankly, so you will have to take my word, about my garden, its looking good, normally I would have started fighting the weeds, (not winning) and my tenosinavitus is playing up really badly, had to put the splints back on, but Hubby is home from work, so, pretty much everything is done, AND people, ta dah! Our Cordyline Australis, in our front garden in shingle is flowering for the first time, I think it is 5 years old.Definietly getting the camera out.
