Just for fun some snappy snaps from my garden this morning
First up from a lying seed packet sweet pea "singing the blues" (a very deep purple in real life)
Next liar is chrysanthemum "eastern star" cream petals with a chocolate brown centre on the packet. sunglasses on, it's bright yellow!!!!
Perennial sweet peas starting to flower.
Trough of mixed annuals including "Clary" aym.
Fuschia "6 dollar princess"
Hypericum in the front garden. It had loads of fuzzy bumble bees zipping from flower to flower.
Didn't manage to snap any though, I could hear the window cleaner coming so just a quick click and scoot back indoors. (Don't want to look like a total wierdo)
Lopsided clematis arch, "comtesse de bouchard" has reached the top. "Dorothy Walton" is lagging behind on the other side.
Hello Mrs Norris. Having a nosey at what I was up to from halfway up my wonky fotsythia "tree"
aym that fuchsias fully out today so I want a that mark back one of the clematis seeds and a mecanopsis seedling jims ex which as took over a year to germinate
Kitty2...I like the hypericum. I often wondered what they were called. A few neighbours have them and I wouldn't mind one myself. The pink and lilac Clematis go well together. The cat (Mrs Norris), sure is licking her chops...wonder what she's been eating?
Huge peach Roses Daisy.
The Fuschia really opened up ZenJeff. How comes mine don't open out like that? I have Genii and a Hawkshead.
It's raining cats and dogs here. Easily heavy enough to damage flowers. Bah!
michael keep that rain we have had enough in the north east ,the fuchsia is Caroline quite a few open up like this one not hardy but left outside for the last two winters next to a wall and covered with one sheet of fleece and as survived some decent frosts ,Amy the plant is a perennial lysimachia puncata alexander
If it rains anything like it did in central London about half hour ago you'll be needing scuba gear to tend to your plants! Hahaha! But seriously...It was heavy. I haven't been home yet. My poor Sparaxis. Lol
Thanks Zenjeff...I'll try the fleece with an annual Fuschia wenhave got. It made it through the last winter without any covering but it was a mild winter here.

Luckily the snapdragons match the rose, but they were supposed to be pale lemon!
This is what the sweet peas should look like
And the zingy yellow is a chrysanthemum
Not impressed that the colours are so wrong
Not my cat by the way (although she thinks otherwise and follows me everywhere) she belongs to my eldest daughter.
Lovely flowers everyone

I write the heights on the seed packets for when I'm planning how to plant them.
I lay all the packets out on the conservatory floor and shuffle them about according to colour and height.
Only when I've decided that it looks OK on the floor do I start popping all my plant babies in the ground.
Crazy, maybe
But it works for me 
It's heading your way aym!!

Here's some of what's survived the beating from hideous wind and rain
