    Just love the blues/purples Bob.  Charlie do you know the name of the lily 4th pic down.  Beautiful.

    Bob, the salvia patens is a really deep blue velvet colour. The photo shows it lighter. Grown from Sarah raven seed last year and over wintered in the greenhouse. Plants from its seed this year are not yet flowering.

    ..this plant, Cistus obtusifolius 'Thrive'...really earns its keep with me... it flowers continuously providing you shear off the spent flower heads after each flush... I just think it's a fantastic plant...expensive to buy but worth every penny...easy to strike from cuttings...I took 6 last year..all rooted..and now ready for planting out...

    It's hard to choose one star this morning. William Shakespeare rose, I only bought it this spring, very small, looked in need of a home and now look at it! A blue salvia that flowers all summer, covered with bees. A red Sweet William which the photo doesn't do justice to. It really shines out.
