Just a few from my garden, which is tiny. Top to bottom: Rosa 'De Meaux'; R. 'Susan Williams-Ellis'; combination with Acer palmatum 'Beni Ubi Gohon' and Euonymus japonica in background, Thalictrum aquilegifolium 'Album', Phalaris arundinacea 'Picta' and Meconopsis cambrica in front; another combination with Rosa 'Cornelia' on the fence, Cotoneaster x suecicae 'Juliette' and Allium cristophii in front, plus a self-seeded fern which I think is Dryopteris filix-mas.
This is supposed to be either very pale pink, almost white or yellow, depending on which Antirrhinum species it is. Obviously it did not read the books.

Actually I think the grass may be Phalaris arundinacea picta 'Feesey' or some such these days?
Hi Runny, it's an old rose 'De Meaux'. But beware, the flowers are about the diameter of a 50 pence piece, they just look impressive on the photo
Aym, thanks for your nice comments--actually I haven't been around for a while as work has been so busy.
Cambridgerose - lovely plants and photos. I love that sort of coral coloured rose Cornelia.
I love seeing everyone's plants. It's a great experience to see the real things rather than in books and o websites.
Lovely epiphyllum, Phillippa.
What is the grass in the last two pictures?

It is a perennial one too.
And I have one or three Alliums too.
Allium schubertii, or is it cuthbertii? Never can remember.
or even christophii
