I am a nasty shade of green at present. Have only ever seen red poppies but we are a common lot round here. Must give them a try. Do they like clay earth?
Damp day here today but temperature holding up. Pleased with my Siberian Irises this year. Normally the June heat sees them off after a week, but I am now into day 12. Might not be ideal temperature for me, but flowers like it cooler!
I don't recall the name of the Clematis.
Aconitum in the background next to Fatsia is already six foot tall and flower buds only just appearing. The dark patch next in rear right is Acer Crimson Sentry. Made a mistake planting dark tree in an already dark corner! Live and learn.
Here is the new Iris I got today at the nursery. It had no label and was the only one. The girls thought it might be 'Ruffled Velvet' but it looks too dark. Any ideas?
It's b****y gorgeous anyway!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Oh and I took this today of the new growth on the deep pink rhodie I have at front door. The leaf buds are creamy white and then it turns into this lovely rusty red foliage which looks great with the dark heucheras beside it
Sorry Tim- I forgot to say in last post that your garden looks lovely. Everything is just bursting into bloom now- lovely.

Thanks for the advice FG - perhaps I'll resume ripping.

If you insist
I tried to grow Patty's Plum at the old house, no success, is it really tricky? Love that pale pink one Birdy/Wintersong
Pink and red ones, Wintersong, mine are all red.

Does look too dark, and excuse me if I'm just not seeing them, but can't see any ruffles either.
Could nursery mistaken it for Velvet Night?
