Loving all the bug and bee pictures, lovely flowers too. Nice to see some daffs as well, one of my favourite flowers. I was once tricked into cleaning my bathroom by a daff with a funky stench
I've almost forgotten to enjoy my garden this summer, been planning changes and fussing about non-gardeny things but here's some stuff before it's all gone...
Rudbeckia, forgotten which, most seed grown
Going to extend the brick path up to the arbour this winter, not enough walking space at present
Pink Glow crabs, going to try and make jelly this year. Hope it's jelly as in jam?
Russian sage, potentilla Monarch's Velvet (I think) and scabious ochroleuca
Beautiful, glowing, Amber, love this tall Helenium, and purple loosestrife, it's actually really well behaved for a wildflower, better manners than some of my real plants
Pond area, moving Inula hookeri and Lythrum salicaria Dropmore Purple this winter, hope I don't kill them. Hope I do kill the white willowherb as I'm sick of it.
My purple-y border turns quite pink this time of year. Can't wait for the Sedum Spectabile to blush out to complete the look. The Salvia is 'Joy' and smells really fresh.

Can't find the insect thread
Like the butterfly pic B3.
Lots of lovely colourful blooms in all the pics
Wow - garden's looking great VictoriaS - those rudbeckias are really an eyefull - guaranteed to bring a smile
Beautiful Victoria, I also love Lythrum - I think it's heavily underrated, especially in clay soil gardens.
Thanks guys, very kind of you as garden is a bit wild and weedy at the mo
Yes, lythrum are fab Mark, nothing eats them, they don't require staking and I've noticed some have nice autumn colour
Very nice pictures everyone
I like Lythrum as well
