  • This rose had been flowering all summer and smells lovely, unusual but lovely. I think in bud it is actually more attractive than when it opens, very short life but lots of flowers.

  • Then again, I really like this one, keep thinking it's finished and then it comes back again. The geraniums keep trying to smother it but I just have to keep giving them a hair cut to let the poor little thing breath.

  • What a lovely colour, I have a lilac and a white one but that pink is really good and a bargain too.

    RunnyB, that is stunning. Mine is a double and a rather muddy white, I much prefer the single type.image

    It is, indeed. Quite how a sunflower got planted under the gutter remains unanswered, but I have my suspicions involving birdfood and birds.

    Feed the birds a lot. Get sunflowers in weird places.

     

    sunflowers a mess this time of year but i let them grow for the finches.  i do wonder how many they eat-they fling them about so-volunteers everywhere though not yet on the roof.image

    Salvia "Wendy's wish" has been out for a bit and geranium "Rozanne" hasn't stopped all summer.
