    Very pleasing chick! Hope you're having a nice bit of peace and quiet on that today image

    Is that a Bergamot beside the lobelia Matt? Great colour!

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



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

    Yes, it's Monarda Gardenview Scarlet.

    The smell when you rub the leaves is very enticing image

    My Begonias and Zinnias are wonderful also

    I have only had it a few months but so far not 1 spot of mildew on it and the bees seem to love it too!

    My velvet queen sunflowers are stunning too

  • I must work out how to uplload photos because I, too, love to see other people's .  The stars in my garden right now are the agapanthus.  I have a low growing one, bought last year fron theb garden centre "chucky-out" area for £1 and it has five deepest blue flowers this year, the other is one picked up in B& Q several years ago, flowering for the first time with huge flowers on very long stems.  Amazingly neither seem troubled by slugs, despite their iris-like foliage, which on other plants seem to me a magnet for snails and slugs.

    My stars are the Holyhocks, which I have never grown before.

    Was a bit surprised when the flowers came out, as they do not look like the Holyhocks I have seen before..

    They look like big strawberry ice creams Lyndab!

    Even bigger than doubles - triples by the look of them - never seen ones like that before! image
