Thank you so much @Sheal .
It depends on the area really, we have concrete edging where the lawns meet it, just to ensure the stones don't wander off and attack the lawn mower!!, sometimes we've laid them sideways to create a thinner look. We used bricks in other areas too.

Rhododendron, name long forgotten:

 

Posted a video today of what is currently flowering in the garden here including Viburnum lantana and a peony that are in bloom for the first time since they were planted.

Happy gardening!

 

Common but bright Rebutias always give a good show.

 

I have a lovely Azalea in bloom and the bluebells are still showing strong. Today we spotted the 40-year-old Rhododendron stump that I lifted and then slung in a hole earlier in the spring is starting to bloom. We didn't even think it would survive.

 

I am always amazed at the flowers you get on Cactus Pete. I got rid of all my pricklies barring a Bunny Ear, which has had the odd one or two pale yellow non-descript flowers.

 

Thanks @Upsydaisy. There is currently wood surrounding my patio gravel which was there when I moved in. It's rotting and starting to break up so it's time to replace it.

Oh, and you've swiped my bird bath stand. Your last image on post #78.

Some more Azaleas they're deciduous.don't know the names

 

I love Azaleas. Had one once many moons ago but have never seen them here since. We are just too hot and too dry.
