Oh I bet that rivals your sweet peas for scent! By the way Amateur Gardening mag. is giving away a packet of Sweet Pea seeds on Tuesday with this week's mag.
My in laws where visiting today and they where having a stroll around the garden and the scents where gorgeous sweet peas, freesias and I've forgot the name I think it's dianthus ........
Dianthus is right. I envy you having that species gladiolus (first photo). I had it in Melbourne, but it hadn't survived the move. I did a painting of it at that time. They all look lovely and I can just imagine the perfume!
Okay, okay. Before you all jump on me, I misremembered the plant. It is Acidanthera bicolor (peacock Flower). But anyway, I'm attaching the painting that I did in 2003.
Good evening Pat, I love the painting it reminds me of one of my flowers, don't worry about your pictures I can still see the flowers they look lovely, it looks like spring time over there, it's my favourite time of year spring and summer : ), did you get your wool? : )
New name for acidanthera is Gladiolus murielae, Pat. Nice painting. Yes the site is playing up sometimes. Some of your pictures right themselves when you click to enlarge, others like your painting do not! Another fine day in Bristol and no rain forecast till Thursday so lots of gardening this week, My Bramleys are ready and some falling so I have alerted the neighbours to come and help themselves and to blackberries to go with them as I do not have the time to pick and deliver. One is already helping herself tp plums and has installed a second freezer in her garage.

My Frittilaria flower is just opening
Please note it IS the right way up now. Let's see what happens when I send it.
Never mind. You can just turn your heads to the side.

Discovered a daffodil in flower. It is an unnamed dwarf daffodil that I bought from Aldi 2 years ago.
I don't agree with selling unnamed plants, but I'm glad I bought it - it's very bright.
