Hi great pictures everyone, thanks for the kind remarks about my rose. It has been fantastic and it doesnt matter what the weather the flowers still look beautiful and last for ages, I can really recommend it. Love the lillies I have two plants and when I left home on Thursday neither had flowered, Ill probably get home and they will have been and gone. I also love geums I have two bright orange ones (dont know the name) but I am a bit of a pinkaholic so would love to see a photo and also the variety.
I'd like to see the pink geum too please if poss- I'm currently buying up sale perennials to redecorate my front border which is mostly going to be pink
Hi Orchid Lady, beautiful display in your sink, so pretty I've taken some pics this morning and off now to the neighbourhood watch BBQ so will try and upload tomorrow Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine today and not over heating!
victoria sponge the pink geum pink didn't come out very good so will try and take again in a different light x
I'm going to the GC this week to look for perennial bargains, I have a list of two things to bargain hunt.....another Geum totally tangerine and Agapanthus, if I could get them discounted it would be great, if not I'll have to make do with what I've got
Just had a look round the garden following 3 days away and the lillies have just started to open and begonia in pot looking good. We have had so much rain but the sun is beating down now I think I am one lucky lady while I was away the temp in the greenhouse reached 43C but the plants in their survived, I dont know how
I now have some colour on the other side of the garden.....my Begonias are flowering and I particularly like the yellow one, the planter on the picnic bench was all grown by me from seed and the 'pot' was only £1 (bargain!). You can just see the Lavatera in the background which needs tying up when the hedges have been cut back today. So today's star is a section rather than one plant

It was a country house BM and yes us Northerners are a friendly bunch
My Mrs Bradshaw hasn't flowered this year as they were plug plants but can't wait until next year to see it. Post a pic of yours too GM please.
This was mine when in full flower.

Some lovely bright colours on here!
My star is this kniphofia- my first ever to flower. It's supposed to be Tawny King but I'm not sure if it just looks like a normal one.
I can see it from my kitchen window, shining like a lantern in a dark and soggy garden
Looks great Vicky - orange and purple really work together there
That's lovely Victoria
