    My Key Lime PIe Heuchera is now four lovely plants, growing rapidly.  What gorgeous pictures already and only the second day of summer.  Chelsea has nothing on us.  And we show for free.  I was gasping at the beauty in my garden this morning as i deadheaded (still hundreds of grapehyacinths and bluebells to do so no doubt my camera will be out again in between serving my two visiting sons Sunday lunch and tea.  Keep the pictures coming.  I am loving it.  And when the bearded iris and roses flower - well!  My iris are late this year probably for the same reasons as the bulbs but there are rosebuds aplenty.

    KEF - you have your name back !

    Great photos - especially love the key lime and Cecile Brunner.  My CB has lots of buds but no flowers yet.  We had one at the old house, mixed in with a white clematis montana, and it was my favourite bit of the garden.  Have planted the same here, but it is a waiting game for it to get anywhere close to the wow factor of the last one.

    BBen, if you are taking photos for the record, then please share.  I am finding that sharing pics on here makes me remember to take them, and I am building up a photographic record of the garden through the seasons for the very first time - two birds/one stone etc.  And welcome Herby Louimage

    ..I agree with that Marion, there is more ingenuity from gardeners on these threads than you ever see on t.v.  I sometimes think we are a strange hybrid of the late Geoff Hamilton/Bob Flowerdew/ and Carol Klein... 

    ..of course, Fairygirl can be Rachel de Thame..image

    Here are a few from my garden.  Here in Suffolk we must be a little later with plants coming out cos I do not have any alliums out yet (all in bud) no roses or clematis although they are all bursting they just need a few days of sun (don't we all)  Anyway here are a few of my garden

    Thought I'd include a pic of my gargoyle who keeps an eye over my garden. xx
