Love the cardinal, and Lady Emma too! Beautiful colours both. What have you put Lady Emma with Lizzie? Its quite a hard colour to place.
agree to avoid VM. I bought great agapanthus online from Pine Cottage nurseries earlier in the year. Great plants, which have all flowered this year, and she even threw a free one in for good measure. Just checked, and they have Queen Mum on their list
It is actually on the pond fairygirl, on the marginal shelf so no threat from the s&s this photo does'nt do the colour justice.
These latest stars are such a variety and stunning colours thanks for sharing.
I'm impressed with the second flush of your DA rose Busy-Lizzie, having de-nuded mine of the black spot leaves can see new shoots so just maybe more blooms before the season is finished. Could be my star of next week
I aim to please BB! You can never have too many ponds
I should have seen it was on the pond edge ...distracted by the terrific colour
I know what you mean about not having to worry about molluscs when you've got the pond but it's getting to the point where you have the balance of frogs that's the tricky part! I could have grown it by the pond at my last house as we had loads of frogs, and a nice clump of Crocosmia Lucifer for another burst of bright red to go with it, but the rabbits were a big problem and they would have snaffled it instead.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

There was a thread here where people complained about Vanmeuwen.
My 'Cardinal', the colour is vibrant
BB - someone just posted yesterday about that lobelia - she was house sitting and needed an ID on as it was in the garden.
The foliage is a great colour on it. I always avoid them because of the slug/snail issue but they're very striking plants. Great for ponds.

Thank you Beau
it is a beauty. If I hadn't got it on the shelf on the pond I would have used a shallow trough as it loves having roots in water.
There's a thought fairygirl: a mini pond!

Been away for a while, so have lots of stars sceaming "look at me, look at me" - so lets call this a constellation
