    Love that Limonium @Marlorena, it's a plant I've wanted to grow but I don't think my garden is quite sunny or open enough.
    Tawny King is my favourite poker, @Perki, I don't think you can beat it.

    ..yes I could do with some more Limonium actually... thanks..

    ..lots of lovely perennials, thanks so much.   No problem about being out of sequence, I'm just wondering why nobody has Astilbe's these days.. ? 

    .. great photos !..

    Lots of astilbes in my last garden @Marlorena but too hot and dry here so I'd need to make a bog garden.

    Here we are, @Marlorena.
    I've had these for decades, but really like the two colours together.
    I really need to divide them -- maybe next year.....
    I think the dark red is 'Fanal'.

    @Woodgreen
    .. I used to have 'Fanal', nice to see it again.. that and a pink one I can't recall the name..   goes well with the Filipendula..[?].. 

    ..I think I'm too dry here for them as well Obelixx..

    @Marlorena, I do like that sea lavender, such a pretty colour.

    @Emptyheadtime, that plant is the rose 'Blue for You'. It's doing well there isn't it and it's early to flower - south facing wall.
    Thank-you @lizzie27, that is an absolute cracker. I have put it on my wish list

    Not my photo.

    Astilbe Chocolate Shogun.

    Lovely dark foliage, although I find the pinkish flowers rather dull. Must have moisture.
