Lots of great garden scenes posted here... keep them coming!
Quite some time I have not taken pics in the garden and posted here, due to the terribly sunny (and windy) weather, much too harsh for photography. This morning I took advantage of a "milky" cloudy spell to take those pics.

For some weird reason I've not read this thread before, what lovely photos of some beautiful gardens 😍 so I thought I'd add a couple of bits of my garden.
My wildlife pond area with Salvias, Astrantia and Nepeta.
I spent ages in the spring trying to find this red petunia, Tidal Wave Red Velour, which I bought by chance last year and was stunning. In the end I bought 20 little pug plants online, I was quite disappointed when they arrived as they looked dead and I didn’t hold out much hope but they’ve just started blooming so I’m glad I persevered.
This is the first year we’ve had our patio and pergola; I spent ages trying to decide what to have climbing up the posts and chose clematis as I thought it looked softer than roses. Lots of space for roses in pots though with more to come 😁
All pictures are so lovely, I wish you would have an Open Garden Day. Little round-trip. 20 gardens for £6 next Saturday
I took some images yesterday and today as the sun has been less burning down and thanks goodness, we got rain.
I made a video for my dad last week and he said, he wish he could sit in my garden. It can't go better. OH is over the moon, I nailed it, very wild.
The Deutzia is very in demand in the morning and evening by bees. They love it.
I found them in the wildflower raised bed.
The Phacilia is visited, but the Borage is the top in that bed.
The new Magic Fountain Mixed Delphinum as replacement for the Magic Fountain White is not really my colour choice, but it looks still pretty.
Common Sorrel is flowered. I was distracted by this little thing
The Cleome looks marvellous.
The Ox-eye Daisies start flowering. All grown from seeds by the way. What you see in the images has cost me shy £8 in seeds.
Finally, the maltreated Catmint got a chance to grow and makes now everybody happy.
The Sweetpeas in the back, the darker ones are the most fragrant Sweetpeas I have ever had. Bought as part of a 6er package fragrant flowers at Amazon (not by me, but got them as a present), and kept the seeds.

Stairway of Hostas, so far slug free!
