Berghill, I have only figured out how to post them one at a time from my desktop.But there must be a better way! Perhaps the problem is your file is too large. I had to make each picture smaller.
yep, that poppy's YUM. i'm jealous. sorry for the lack of caps btw - doing this one-handed! i dont have any luck with poppies at all. their stems get eaten thru just when i think they'll finally open. gave them away last year. big fritillaries the same. and daylilies sometimes. boo! i do have some rather scrumptious if weirdly luminous purple hardy geraniums going mad at the mo. potentillas have nearly finished their huge main flush (i know! and I'm oop north too!). i spent this morning planting a dodgy bit under a mature hawthorn. lotsa ferns i've been growing on for AEONS finally went in and look soopadoop. and epimediums. and some phaeum. resisted the urge to put variagated ground elder there (for now) and pruned all my zingy lime green spireas into 4ft balls, all the better to stop them fading to green and to enjoy the flowery frou-frou around them. also confirmed that my much-loved and hard to replace aster divaricatus definitely croaked over the winter. double boo! tadpoles have no legs yet, but look happy enough and the bullfinches have babies. yay bullfinches! unlucky magpies! dont you just love the way every plant is still a slightly different shade of green in june? hasnt all merged together quite yet... best month for me.

PS--that is a gorgeous fringed poppy!
Dito to the poppy and Berghill's garden is flipping fantastic and huge! You'd lose me for weeks at a time tending to the plants. Oh the joys!

Berghill. I managed to get to your album. I wonder if this link will work? http://s703.photobucket.com/albums/ww32/Owdboggy/June%202012/?albumview=slideshow
