    Lovely Verdun - thank you for sharing - what's the deep plummy red to the right of the Blue Boa - is it a knautia?

    What a beautiful garden Verdun.

    Busy Liz beautiful pics too, love the 3rd one, are they day lillies.

    Thank you both for sharing.

    Yes, Lily, they are day lilies, fuschia ricartonii behind that I've had for over 20 years and a climbing perennial pea.

    Beautiful Verdun and Lizzie.

    Blue boa is now on my wish list - my black adders from last year have just started to flower, so i think they like my conditionsimage

    That is the only one I've managed to grow Chicky. It gets too hot for them in summer here and that one is in the shade. That bed had a young prunus tree and wasn't in the shade but the tree has grown. I left the dahlias there and they just come up every year and have survived the winters and the shade!
