Great pix everyone. None to add right now but the first flower has just opened on DDeronda clematis so hopefully might get one or two later this week. My Mahonia berries are only just starting to turn KEF.
This was sitting for ages on a hosta the other day
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
sweet pea, lovely sea thrift mine is a flowerless green clump. chicky, beautiful lupins, my gertrude is a week or 2 behind yours, 1st bud just starting to open
cooler the next few days but warm and windy today-start getting restless and ready to be on the road this time of year. nice snapdragons-from seed? drought here has gone from severe to extreme.
Yes, they were last years plants, from seed, and they managed to survive the winter. I'd put most in pots and threw them away last autumn, but they were in a bed.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
There are 3 Albertine roses on the wall further along, not quite out. There is the ever present problem of ivy, that bit of wall had most of it's ivy pulled off only last year. There is masses of ivy in the forest and it crawls along the ground into the garden.

I didn't know there were white marsh marigolds.
The garden is looking very wet and a bit battered this morning. Not raining now but more is forecast.

Great snapdragons, and lovely clematis
. Meant to mention my Cecille is finally making an appearance.
David - you must be the expert at coping with extremes - your garden looks wonderful despite snow, heat and drought
chicky your clematis are all beauties and your lupins inspire me to try them again for the first time in twenty years-wish i had a stone wall.
the first peony ive raised from seed that i think is really fine-petals like tissue with a faint veining of pink
Lovely peony.
