    No, none of those currently Nollie..  I meant to say, if anybody wants to contribute their own photos, and this is in the main a Photo thread, then you are more than welcome, it needn't be all about my own plants..   so if anyone has photos of any more 'A's not shown already, please go ahead, I'd like to see them.. 

    I'm also going to be putting a call out for 'B's, as I lost my Baptisia australis, and I don't really have anything else, before I move on to 'C's... thanks..

    Think I am going to add Alstroemeria Indian summer to my hot border this year , its seems vigorous enough to withstand slug/snail attack .

    I've copied  a link from my phone of my Alstroemeria "Indian Summer". It's parked in the veg garden if my new house last year. It is now in my new Jewel Bed. I hope it survived the winter OK, new growth is starting.

    My computer is dying and is at a repairer man being transfered to a new laptop, most of my photos are on it.

    I'll add in some sneaky Allium sphaerocephalon.

    Alliums can sneak about as much as they like here.   None when we arrived but I plant new ones each year.  The Christophii haven't survived droughts but I have high hopes for Purple Sensation this year and some sphaerocephalum planted new for this spring and nectaroscordum.

    I love your As @Perki. I was just typing about my Alstroemeria while you were posting.

    ..just to say thanks for the extra photos, really enjoying them... those Alstromerias are striking [Edhelka and others].. and also the Agastache 'Crazy Fortune'.. looks a real winner.. I've had 'Kudos Coral' here, but didn't like it too much... Actaeas I've not grown, really lovely.. !

    I'll start the 'B's tomorrow and hopefully some of you can follow on then..
