      I'll have to keep an eye out for that as I like the creamy colour rather than a brighter yellow. Thanks :)

        @ARMANDII Next time you're down here and want any more Lychnis just let me know. I can dig it up in advance - but don't let anyone know!

                  Hi @Ben James ,

                  This is a close up.....

                  Cerastium Tomentosum

                  WP_20160529_012.jpg

                  It's known around here as " White Rock " .

                  If you want some Ben I can do you some cuttings that will br ready to plant out around September.

                  Beware though, you don't need a lot, it's an excellent groundcover plant.

                          'Arthur Brown' (still waiting on all the other roses but this one I'm very impressed with)

                            A few from this evening...

                            This rose was already here, it's some kind of climber but I don't know the name.

                            Blue for You.

                            Another Unknown. This was a standard but I'm training it into an arch I added.
                            image.jpeg
                            This was already here, I think it's 'compassion'.
                            image.jpeg
                            First knautia. Grown from seed last year- I didn't expect them to be true perennials.
                            image.jpeg
                            My favourite rose at the moment- 'Blue Eyes'. The flowers remind me of oriental poppies.
                            image.jpeg
                            Blue Iris gifted from husband's nan- only had 1 flower last year so I'm considering this a success!
                            image.jpeg
                            Happy dahlia bed. Slugs and snails are staying away (for now!).

                            A very rare peek of it looking tidy in there!
