A few from this afternoon now the sun has finally decided to appear.
The front garden is just ready to open up with Lupins, Delphiniums, Clematis, all holding back.
The Verbascums, Geums, Veronicas and Luzula Nivea have been showing for weeks though - as have the Aquilegias which have reverted sadly and need pulling out but they were so densely budded I left them for the bees for now..
But its been a superb year for Aliums. Not even remotely affected by the gale force wind and rain earlier this week and being so exposed.
This rose was a sticky label buy back end of last year
rapsody in blue and it is wonderfully perfumed
This was what i presumed a weed at the front othe border tookforum guys advise and left in a really large Fox glove I love it even if it's in the wrong place
Hope the weekend keeps fine loads of nurtured seedlings and sticky labels still to find homes for
I've spent most of today edging the beds((also widening beds by a bit the lawns too big anyway)
I know what you mean primrose..... we've spent today creating some new borders as you said ' the lawns too big .....and my greenhouse suddenly seems too small !!!!!

ighten, what a wonderful location. nice garden too.

Hi Hefty, missed your question, the campanula grows out of the wall. Never sure how it survives but it does.
Lovely spot Ighten. My Alliums have done well this year too.
Gate is lovely Katherine.
Just my kind of garden Mrhursty.
@davids10 all of those david.. And the challenge. It was derelict 4 years ago.
Ighten - the changes you've made are stunning - especially all the new landscaping. You've worked so hard and it's really paying off
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Looking a bit jungle-ish but pretty here:
