Saponaria - first year flowering. I have spent the past few months eyeing it up suspiciously, wondering if it was something I should be weeding out... I may yet have to but for now I'm glad I didn't!
Shady area - sweet woodruff going for it! anthriscus ravenswing, ferns, pittosporum tom thumb, euonymus white spire (tiny), dicentra (and naughty mind-your-own-business and ground elder - grrrr) (hydrangea, iceberg rose and thalictrum gearing up in the background). Bit messy but I love it.
I feel that I shouldn't love this rhododendron as much as I do. I know that it's a little bit Hyacinth Bucket in colouring. It has changed colour since moving it from pot to ground. I think it wants to be more like an azalea. I love it.
Not my garden but wasn't sure where else to share this pic of Deutzia growing in the dense shade of beech and oak at Bestwood Country Park. They seem perfectly happy growing there, and I would imagine have been there for many decades (they are in the overgrown remains of a Victorian 'Japanese Garden').

I am so pleased with my new lupins and my newly discovered peonies, poor things have spent far too long overshadowed by a climbing rose. Sadly I just can't capture the beautiful deep pink shade on camera well enough.
And this rose has the most divine scent, sorry no name as it was here when I got here, although I have moved it and it seems to enjoy it's new spot better. A little ravaged by recent wind and rain, but beautiful colour.
