Fritillary, I use Thymus plants for a border in some of my garden beds and it works well. They are hardy, low growing, are always useful in the kitchen, and easy to keep pruned if you want a more formal look. The biggest disadvantage is that they self seed prolifically (most friends are happy to receive young seedlings).
I don't often see a deep blue sky with no clouds up here, promises to be a lovely day, if it lasts. The bees are so numerous this year, I have never seen so many,
Lizzie, I am so sorry about your beautiful garden, so dried up, wish you could have some of my rain, we have never, ever been able to sit on our grass without a waterproof cover.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

That red is very striking Verdun, looks lovely with the purple.
I've just noticed too
Great colours
Hard to believe that deep a red can come from a grass. Love the dark maroon next to it - is that an astilbe ??
I am jealous of your lawn, Verdun. It's been so hot and dry here, lawn watering is forbidden. This was mine the end of July.
Oh dear, the Santolina is a terrible mess, had so much to do since we got back from Suffolk.
