          Stunning borders as per usual @Perki, in fact I think you've excelled yourself this Summer, mate! :dbgrtmb: Is that Eryngium 'Neptune's Gold', and how many of them are planted there? Surely not just one! :scratch:

          Those white delphiniums look fantastic against their burgundy background @alana, lovely contrast! May I ask the cultivar name? Haven't grown them before but I'm tempted now! :)

            @Nikolaos - the delphiniums are "White Centurian". The placing is a happy accident:)

                        Just noticed Tecoma stans (Ginger Thomas ... yes, it has a light scent of Ginger) has its first bloom after it was drastically cut back in March ...

                            Does anyone know what these are? It's not a good photo as I had to crop myself out by zooming in.
