  Dahlias added to the borders now really making them fill out:
  
  
  
  Dinner plates starting to emerge but nothing out yet. Avignon is probably the closest:
  
  
  
  I would say not even half of my 25 odd dahlias are out. Anyone else have this or are most of theirs out now?

  All of mine are flowering now @Alfie_ apart from one where the tuber was very slow to get going so it’s always been playing catch up.  

  
  

  I’m always amazed at how much growth they put on in just a few months.  This raised bed was completely empty in April, half of it is used for dahlias that I use for cut flowers and the other half for runner beans, beetroot and strawberries.

  These lilies have a very strong fragrance. I cut them for the vase, the entire house smells of them.

  And then my heart with pleasure fills,

  And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth

  I love that Stafford hemerocallis! I must see if I can find one. It looks like it has tall self-sustaining stems. Radiation Biohazard is a beauty as well.
