    Thank you @Michael Hewett yes I'm surprised that they grew in the tarmac, but they do like a lot of drainage.:biggrin:

          @Victoria you were pondering braiding some hibiscus. I believe this shows why it is done over here. Oh dear, I tried to get a good shot showing the red yellow flowers but it refuses to pose properly!

            The picture is fine Lori, I can see what you are saying. It is beautiful. I guess this is new? May I be so rude as to how much you paid please?

              I got it on sale. $12. :) They do start off around the $45. Mark at the beginning of May. Waiting sometimes pays off. I don't know what the third colour is as it's been raining for days and I was too busy inside to trace the stems upward.

                Hi Perki. Your white rose in the pot is beautiful, would you mind sharing what variety it is?

                    Attached to my last post are a couple of my clematis today. I didn’t mean to attach them in this post but never mind…lol. I’m not great with technology, especially on my phone!

                        My cutting garden is looking so good this year. So much from so little:). Rich pickings for filling the house with colour on dull or rainy days.

                        Plenty of dahlias
