1 Runnybeak - yes Masquerade rings a bell thank you - it is much admired by visitors and we love it too for it's interesting colour variations. The Bougainvillea is in a cold greenhouse. We had one of these plants previously for about 35 years - it grew so well - in fact too well but became woody at the bottom of the plant and mealy bugs seemed to like it too, so this time I am determined to keep it neater and more compact. Lovely garden Julie - I love the alliums and the arches, some lovely colours in your planting.
I'd lost my gardening mojo this week, caught up with this thread and now feeling inspired and motivated again, thanks for posting your beautiful photo's everyone

Are gardens supposed to have a colourscheme?
I just chuck in everything I like.
As always my garden lags behind Fairygirl, my Gertrude Jekyll has not flowered yet. She's thinking about it.
A few more pictures from our garden.
Our daughter's rose
The rose outside our cottage - we love the difference in colour as the buds open up

A few more - seems I could only load up 3 pictures previously.
Bougainvillea
So much colour! Surely "bung it all in" makes a colourscheme in itself? ?

It's our resident garden pic thread Flowerlover, so hope to see some of your garden too in the future
Lovely to see so much variety in everyone's differing plots. Keep 'em coming!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
A bougainvillea is top of my list for putting in our new conservatory
Lovely flowers and gardens. Like that rose RB.
My garden is starting to recover from all that rain.
