Great alpine tray Sparkles, and wonderful lupin - i like the single colours so much better than the two tone ones. Most of mine are from seed - and have turned out 2-tone
Sparkles you can have lovely bits for this thread and messy bits for the other one. All gardens have messy bits, I call my rubbish area where I throw stuff like creeping buttercup and bindweed, the Unpleasurance, found the name in a funny book about gardening.
Thank you, Joyce, Chicky and RB.
The peach rose is a climbing Shropshire Lad.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Lovely garden Busy-Lizzie - and those roses are beautiful. I would recommend a bougainvillea for a greenhouse clairgreenlow - they are ideal and we also saw Birds of Paradise grown in a cold GH a few weeks ago
. Only one picture from our garden today Bishop of Llandaff Dahlia
Thanks Fairy - we bought 3 tubers but only two have grown - perhaps I misread the instructions or was just unlucky (well that is what I tell everyone but the former was probably the cause for one not producing any growth), however I am pleased with the first flower. The BofP or Strelitzias do look like a prehistoric creature - I don't know anything else that looks quite like them - they are a jaw dropper of a plant. I have never seen one growing out of doors.

Garden is lovely, as always, BL. It has certainly recovered from the battering
Year one to two?! That's impressive!!
I'm quite proud of the little alpine garden I planted on Sunday
My lovely lupin - in a pot to stop it getting eaten by our voracious slugs
Clematis 'twilight' - first flower just unfurling.

PP - these are the pots I keep on the patio, if I concentrate on them, I can ignore the rest of the garden!
Haha, missed the tootsies!
Gorgeous Lizzie - I love your garden

I love Strelitzias GD. When I've retired I'd like to have a go at growing them. Would definitely need a conservatory for them though!
Lovely pic of the Dahlia
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
