Yviestevie - fantastic Thalictrum. I have Elin which is only in bud just now and it's only it's 3rd year. That iris Cimeron Strip is absolutely beautiful. How long did it take for it to produce these flowers for you? My soil seems to kill off irises in their 2nd year never to be seen again - but your photo is tempting me to try again.
Visited RHS Hyde Hall the day after we were at Chelsea. Wanted to see the dry garden and the winter garden but they've only just started planting the latter with a couple of curved rows of coloured stem shrubs. Lots of alliums and some really lovely perfumed roses and the rock garden has some fabulous plants but too much euphorbia for me.
I bought a thalictrum delaveyii some years ago expecting it to get to 90cms. 2 metres later I decided maybe it was Elin. Finally had to move it somewhere else to give it space and it now grows to about 1m30.......... Lovely foliage and creamy flowers with a hint of lilac as they mature.

Lovely photos everyone, I'm going to have another go at posting piccies.
Thalictrum Black Stockings
Iris Cimeron Strip (first time they have flowered)
Wow it worked
The geranium pheum is an excellent companion to the lovely iris.
That thalictrum is beautiful. It's one of my all time favourite plants and I've only ever had white ones.
I love that gate in the wall, makes you want to look into the other side.
Beautiful, Yvie Stevie. Have you popped into the Birthday thread yet?
