Spent the day in Devon visiting two beautiful gardens - Little Ash Bungalow and Burrow Farm Gardens.Lovely weather and food in the tearooms and the flowers and blossom were all amazing. I bought a dark red sempervivum for the garden with 16 babies on it needing separated from their parent and an echivaria for the conservatory with four babies. Busy tomorrow.
PS Saw in one of the gardens today the dandelion sculpture Monty showed on TV on Friday. It looked splendid, especially the bit that stuck out from the seedhead.
Dull here today but cannot wait to get out in my garden! Being away for one day is quite enough. We saw some lovely gardens but two things struck me - none were as colourful as mine and the weeds in the country are not as vicious as town ones. I saw no nettles nor brambles but cow parsley and wild roses galore! Pelargoniums seem to have gone out of fashion!
Too tired to do much more than potter in the garden after the miles I walked yesterday so took some pictures of my new dark red sempervivums - all those potsful for £2.50.The pansy family and
my pansies. I did not see any pansies yesterday to come anywhere near them.

That's just what I am looking for, for the back of my borders against the dark fence, thanks Marion

Glad you had a lovely day with garden visits Marion.
Since lunchtime we have had lashing rain and high winds.

My pansies still strutting their stuff well into their second month of flowering.
Warm and dry all day today so hoping to get lots done. Visiting open gardens certainly gets you moving in your own garden.
