    The peony thing is total guff. I've lost count of the number of times I've moved them and they just flower again no prob. Claire Austin did talk about it in an interview recently saying it was rubbish.

    Lovely pix John- very neat and tidy as everyone has said.I like a tidy garden- just like my kitchen!

    Birdy- have you moved to Australia recently? Think that's the prob with the pix image

    Try shoving them on another site- photobucket seems popular on here. You can turn them and transfer them easily, although you should be able to rotate them before you post no matter where you've got them. I have mine on thewindows thingy on the laptop and I can do allsorts with them there too.

    Giving us all a right good laugh anyway!!!!!imageimage

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Daisyheadcase - welcome to Topsyturvy Land and ignore Fairygirl's quip about Australia. I suspect she just doesn't know how to invert a good photo!

    I've got a lovely bunch of ... (Now stop that you lot at the back) ... peonies in my back garden! I might even send you all a photo when they are in full bloom ( or, if you are all good I won't!)image

    This year I actually managed to remember to let them grow through one of those circular grids on sticks. They are at least supported should bad weather strike again.

    You know what it can be like: a beautiful show of peonies in full bloom, completely ruined by rain because they are unable to support their own waterlogged weight. Well, although I am not complacently convinced they are immune to rain, touch wood, mine will hopefully be able to stay up a bit longer than usual.

    Let's see those peonies then!!!image

    They are beautiful but you're right - the wind and rain really knackers them doesn't it? The one advantage this year of it all being so late is the cherry blossom staying on trees longer. Up here we usually have wild weather as soon as it's out and it's all on the ground before you know it. This year it's staying on the trees and it's lovely!

    Yes Gardeningfantic - they can be the right way up before Submit and wrong after, and  sometimes the wrong way up before Submitting so I hope Submit will right them - and it doesn't.

    Also, I don't seem to have any icon for turning the photos round in the discussion window before Submitting. Maybe it's something to do with using an iPad.

    Don't join our lovely forum friends in wasting any more  energy on it - I will sort it eventually.
