Top pic looks liek assorted blue and white agapanthus. 2nd pic looks like perovskia but caryopteris is a good alternative for late blue flowers. 3rd pic looks like a white form of scabious. No idea for 4.
I like your cast iron table and chairs.

I'd love a formal Italianate garden but with this space it would be difficult to achieve. I have to think of possible resale - it would be for a family probably - so my dream of 'a parterre or two, a vista and view' will have to wait
That rhymed
BM - sometimes seeing your garden in a pic gives you a totally different viewpoint of things. It's going to be lovely - plenty to look at. You won't even notice that shed in a year's time
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Cast Iron envy BM. Love the blue and white agapanthus and your planting infront of the shed is really coming along.
You're right Fairy when I posted the pic of my brolly earlier in the year I couldnt believe it was my patio it looked so nice. Much nicer than in real life.
Been too busy today to relax BM. Ive been deadheading, planting bulbs, hellebore, lupins and hollyhocks for next year. Just about to go in the shower to remove all the grime before visiting mum. I'm hoping to catch up on a bit of tv this evening and free up some space on the planner after the holiday.
hi all shabby chic lovers, on a bit of a mission to try to make house look a bit nicer, been in 18 months now and it looks dull and tired, relly need a new rug for living room, the one i want is a modern take on classic but is over £800!! seen one that has 2 large impression roses on it in cream and beige it's new but on ebay (never get chance to go to shops and look without 3 year old screaming at me) ha s anyone seen this? opinions valued, does it look pretty or chavvy? i have lost all confidence in my style as i just don't get time to look in mgazines or take time to choose, help please!!
Hi, sounds nice, browsed but couldn't see it. Can you copy it to upload a picture?
Saw some really bold designs, lovely colours but not me, if you know what I mean, couldn't live with them.
I always dither about changes to flooring not just the expense but the fact that it's more permanent. Tend to go with nuetral/natural and use cushions, pictures, flower arrangements, etc to reflect the season in colour, just move things around.

Hey Yvie - we could form a New England look now!

Thank you fairy
As for your dream, why not just settle for an Italin instead and then you could take him with you if you ever re sale 
Thank you for the ids obelixx and liking the table and chairs, what I like about the pic is you can't see which ones I still haven't painted
Oh Yviestevie you snuck in
Maybe we both could pinch ideas of the agapanthus from wisley to put in front of our painted sheds, would look lovely 
Hope you're making use of your table and chairs today, it's so warm!
i got mine off eBay few years ago! Just about the only bargain I have ever had off there!
