    HappyM, what is the white frothy one?

    That is the flower of my elder tree.  It is covered in them.  I could make a fortune in elderflower cordial.

    I really love the lime coloured Heucheras.

    I have 'Lime Ricky' that was slow to establish after I divided a single specimen. Only two survived and are still  homeless since placing them out of sunlight is proving trickyimage

    That's very nice fb. Is it a difficult one to grow?

    Singy, I don´t know the cultivar, but it is a sweet william (D.barbatus).

    No, Nut. I've moved it once, and split it to give some to my mum (backup plants)

     It dies down each year to small tubers a bit like dahlias. The main problem is that is doesn't start to grow until may, so early weeding results in a fork being put through it.

     This is a cluster of about 6 plants.  I will probably split the larger clump up again this autumn.  I seem to have lost the purple version.

    Thanks for answering the query about the autumn crocus Marion. I think she may have tried contacting various people image

    A geranium in this garden has just started flowering - I was hoping it wouldn't be the common 'birthday cake pink' one that's everywhere here. Fortunately it's a deep violet one. Came out very blue on the camera so I adjusted it a bit on the site. Still a bit pale but here it is:

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



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