    Looking at Norwin's photos, our what I call Esther Reads (white Daisies) are now giving us a lovely show in various places in the garden.

    This is part of my front garden at home, can anyone name the furry plant in the forefront on the right? Have got it growing in a couple of places and at first it looks lovely but does become quite leggy and decrepit with time. Like me!! ?

    I think it is Stackys, we have it and call it lambs tail.

    Stachys is great for bees Norwin, so it's a good addition to a garden if the conditions are right   image

    Your garden looks lovely. The shadow of the tree on the path is really eye catching.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    imageI'm very new to gardening and had some waste space behind my house with an ugly coal bunker and oil tank than was an absolute weed fest.  I planted a wild flower and grass mix in May (we had snow in the last week of April so it was late) and I'm delighted with the result.  image
