    Bizzie B. Ageratum are HHAs, flowering from early July through to late September in Sheffield. I am not sure if they might be hardy in some southern places.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    That's useful to know punkdoc image thanks. I'm in north herefordshire so not too far south but could  get a good flowering season from them. I'm finding that I choose my plants according to their growing season and succesion flowering. Maturity eh, one learns image

    beautiful pics today David, you have a wonderful garden image

    Beaus Mum, the green insect is a dragonfly, emerald green, at least six inches long. It was zooming over the pond and around the garden. Finally it rested on the pond edge and amazingly honed in on the sweet potato at my feet! 

      The gatekeeper butterfly on the Leucanthemum was a delight to see, rested there for an age.

    Found some  flowers of mine which are quietly growing, almost unnoticed
