Hi Joyce, the small white flowers are forget me nots, Id recommend them for anyone with a pond, they are no hassle and don't take over as much as other pond plants and I think they look better than the standard blue. They flower later than the on land ones and flower for longer too.
Beautiful flowers all. Loved the pink bed chicky and the bed by the patio Ssun.
I wish I could plan for the wonderful juxtaposition of plants but I just hope that nature will do it for me. Sometimes it does and sometimes I look the other way
Faves are Sussexsun's bold berberis and crocosmia mix, red (or orange?) and white dahlia, yarrow's dierama and pink fantasy clem (neither of mine are flowering!) chicky's pink rose and Veronica (?), B3's mix of I think verbena and pulmonaria over the page and chris789's lovely front garden - what a lovely mix of well behaved upright flowers!
Smashing flowers all, hope I haven't forgotten anyone

It won't. A wonderful juxtaposition of plants is the art of the gardener / landscape designer, not the art of nature. Although --- of course --- a number of natural landscapes look wonderful and are a source of inspiration to gardeners & artists.
In your series of pics posted yesterday at at 19:00 what are those pink spiked flowers amidst pink roses? Lupins? Physostegias? Digitalis?
As I said before it would help a lot in our discussions on this forum if people would kindly number theirs pics (or give them titles) for easy reference.
Pond looks great Chris. Hope the front garden stays 'pristine'
Love the Dierama and Briza 'raindroppy' pix, Yarrow. Gorgeous.
No pooter recently, but I took these about ten days ago.
Etoile Violette and Allium Multib. nigrum
Lily - 'Blackout'
Paeony (Duchesse de Nemours) has survived it's endless moves, periods in pots, and inclement weather
The alpina clematis (Constance) is flowering with the viticella (E.V.) It's got even more flowers since I took that pic. Strange - but lovely to have them together
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

But sometimes it does PJ . Purple toadflax is a very talented mixer.

I think some of the best combinations in my garden, were created by self sowing.
I often marvel at how chance does it better than my carefully thought out plans.
