I think its a good job I had just finished the phlomis and removed the scarf over the face and the ear muffs, before the window cleaner appeared over the garage roof. He thought I wasn't in, because I hadn't heard him with the ear defenders on.
OL - dividing plants is normally done in autumn or early spring - wouldn't do it now as the heat will stress them as they try to get re-estabilshed. Loved your before and after pics, but couldn't see enough of the borders to be able to give divding advice - maybe some close ups of potential candidates might help? You can normally tell if they need dividing because they get a dead area in the centre. However if you want to divide them to make more plants then go ahead as long as they have formed a big enough clump to have a few growing points. Hope that helps
