..that keeps things nice and simple Nollie..
..talking of Euphorbias, here's mine that I've posted before.

EUPHORBIA x pasteurii 'Browns'... a 50/50 chance cross between Mellifera and Styngiana.. this is a selected strain. 'Honey Pot' is also a pasteurii strain so I've just read..

Geranium x cantabrigiense,.. in variety... all flower mid May-mid July..
mauve forms.. 'Karmina'..'Cambridge'..'Vorjura'.. all rather similar..

...white forms mixed in.. 'Biokovo'.. 'Hilary Rendell'... can't tell the difference to be honest..

..'Crystal Rose' is an interesting colour break..

Geranium ‘Glenluce’ — I don’t have any whole plant photos of it though

Loxley · March 2022

Another Euphorbia fan here, although I don't have many pictures of them.

Here are another couple of 'E's - Eurybia x herveyi (with E. divaricata) at Trentham, and Eryngium yuccifolium in my garden.

..Loxley, that's really lovely, such unusual plants one doesn't see that often...

...pretty Geranium Athelas, I like the maroon stripes.

I only like the spider or star form of Daylilies. I'm hoping to get a few more.

Hemerocallis 'Stafford'.. flowers for about 8 weeks, which is good for a daylily..

Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'.. I found this too orange for my taste..

Helenium 'Rubinzwerg' is redder, but fades to a brownish/orange.

I'm not a lover of Hostas unless they have blue foliage and beautiful flowers.
HOSTA sieboldiana 'Elegans'..

Helianthus giganteus - gets to about seven foot in my garden. Delicate. Lovely as cut flowers:

I enjoyed H. Lemon Queen too and would grow it again. Good for semi shade.

Does anyone here grow Ferula communis?

punkdoc · March 2022

I do @Fire.
Lovely filigree foliage, grows to about 8 feet, doesn't flower in my garden.

Fire · March 2022

@punkdoc Interesting. Does it not flower because it needs more sun, more heat, a longer hot season or worse gravelly soil? I've seen them flowering in Sussex.
