I'm new here and have just spent far too long looking at all these lovley photos when I should be outside weeding my raspberries..however...before I go, I'd like to share this...
This is a petunia grandiflora from last year. It was T&M F1 seed, and one plant yielded over 100 blooms at one point. This year I am trying Kings seeds. They are doing ok, but no pics as the wind had battered a lot of them and they sre shredded to ribbons.
David, that looks beautiful! I live five minutes walk from the coast, and it's often very windy. I only have one hanging basket and I keep it in the apple tree..at least it gets a bit of shelter!
Those petunias are amazing! I recently took this one of my clematis which I have planted through an old rose bush - only my second year of gardening but I well and truly have the bug!!
I love clematis. That's a beauty! My other half is the clematis collector and grower in our garden.
Gardening just grabs you by throat and won't let go. I've been grubbing about in the dirt since I was a toddler..literally. My mother worked at a plant nurseries and used to take me with her (in those days you could). I used to sit under her potting bench and play with the discarded seedlings and make mud pies! It's my earliest memory.

Don't flowers look amazing when viewed close-up? This is a pic I took of a humble begonia:
Sorry....It looked better pre-posting.
Looks lovely now
Thank you, Kate...I think reducing to fit here spoiled it a little though.

Hello, Tina, they look lovely...and all that weather to cope with.
This is an all petunia hanging basket of mine:
This is my 'sit-a-while' corner. I can't see how much work the veg beds and fruit garden needs when I sit here!
The squirrel comes too. he is very tame.

Tina - perhaps you may like this pic of my clematis 'Niobe'. I think it's pretty remarkable for the sheer number of blooms on it:
