    My stars are roses, but some are nearly over now. Sweet Williams are making a bright red cheerful patch with blue delphiniums behind them.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
  • I have to say the bee's are. I plant for scent and bee's and this year I have all different species and in good numbers too.

    Bees for me too image

    From the moment they returned to swarm over the cotoneaster to  their daily presence on the hardy geraniums, chives, scabious, delphinium they bring the garden to life.

    damsel flies are good here at the moment and I saw one demoiselle today. We don't get many of those.

     The star changes from day to day now, everything is changing so fast.

    Todays star is Roscoea cautleoides Kew Beauty.

    Oops I don't do grasses either! Best in my garden are peonies and iceberg climbing rose, hoping other roses will join in ASAP!
