Haha, no I didn't, Fairygirl. Thanks! My mum assumed they were a type of allium and I took her word for it - I'm very new to gardening... Maybe I should go read some gardening books, haha!
Looks yummy, LilyP! Are those loganberries? My daughter is looking for a hybrid berry to grow in her new garden & so I'm interested in what others grow...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Hello , fabulous flower combinatios
Oh wow KeenOnGreen, exactly my type of border display
Looks great, I bet the bee's are putty in your hands with that selection.
Great 'zingy' colour combos KOGreen
Kate - you do know those aren't alliums, don't you? They're agapanthus ..
I had some bees on the sphaerocephalon alliums today- nice and rough for them to cling to in the recent wild wind..
and the sweet peas got a battering just after I'd 'persuaded' them to drop down the inside of the fence, but they've survived
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Great pictures

Kate - I wouldn't worry - whatever you're doing with them is working anyway - they're looking superb!
They don't always do well for some people, so perhaps you're a natural

Not flowers I know but hope I can cheat with yesterdays harvest.
