    Verdin, what colours! Your garden must be a riot of colour. Can you take an overall view for us to see?You have inspired me, I am going out to see what is left after our horrific rain yesterday !

    beautiful heleniums verdun-the very colors of autumn. do you have chrysanthemums with them? cimicifuga is one of the plants-box is another-whose odor for me is horrible. on the other hand about half the people who come in the garden in the spring think the crambe, which for me is odorless, smells like garbage. things that make you go hmmmm.

    David Spikes, I agree about Box; to me it smells of Tom Cats, but no one else seems to be able to smell itimage

    Lovely hedychium.

    and a novel method of securing tomatoes, but it obviously works.image

    Thanks fidget, it can get very windy here, so I grow them as climbers! Just need some sun to ripen them off now....

    Brilliant Bamboogie! We have to do whatever works for our own plot image

    I like the smell of Cimcifugas too Verd, and I agree about the foliage - striking.

    Hate hawthorn blossom - I think that smells of cat pee image

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



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