I love my Jacob's ladder at the moment and it smells wonderful.
(Also as a newcomer I have been reading all the old posts and can't remember who posted about the book ' The Bee-Kind Garden' but I did go and buy it. What a dear treasure of a book, thanks for the recommendation).
BL- I'm not a huge fan of roses but that dark pink 'Tess' is beautiful.
Hi reb - love Jacob's Ladder -the white one though! There's a variegated one called 'Brise d'Anjou' which I used to have. If you like J's L - it's a very nice plant.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fairygirl sorry can't help you with your iris' name but hey ho its beautiful. I'm sad I don't have one foxglove blooming this year I didn't have much time for the garden last year it was like a building site! but I have put in some Milk Chocolate Foxgloves (kew collection seeds) hope these germinate, they've been in two weeks now and not a sign . I never even new Jacobs ladder was perfumed have to sniff it when it flowers.
Must admit I never used to like roses either but now I'm hooked on the old fashioned musky scented varietys, I have William Lobb, Ispahan and Alan Titmarch three gorgeous scents. I also have a white rose that climbs I think it maybe Iceberg and although I can't smell it the husband says its scented.

Dove great photo.
Yes it would be lovely if there was a like button like on facebook. But then I would be pressing like for just about every photo that is posted

Welcome reb,
My flower of the moment would have to be the flowers on my wisteria,they are hanging like bunches of grapes from my h and are such a glorious colour.
It would have to be my lavender border alongside the house, smothered in bees, great to look at and great for wildlife so thumbs up from me.

I love looking up and then normally getting the new varieties so thank you very much for the suggestions.
Thanks Bev, it really is a lovely book.
It has to be my Peony. My mum planted this a long time ago so it is very special to me. Does anyone know if you can take cuttings from them?
