          Well some lovely photos there everyone ....... you're all very lucky as there's nothing much looking good in my Yarden at the moment to be honest. We're just not getting the sunlight required I guess. My fingers are crossed for some good weather soon ..... I'm disappointed at the moment as by this time of year I am usually pottering about and admiring the displays in my containers ...
          Boo hoo :cry3::huh:

                Wonderful, colourful pictures @Upsydaisy and @strongylodon and @Michael Hewett but I wouldn't want to keep up with it all. :rolleyespink:
                Michael, I had Sollya heterophylla years ago but it didn't last long here in full sun.

                      The strings were for Morning Glory climbers but I had no luck at all with my seeds this year! :sad: I've since planted climbing Nasturtiums in their place but they will take some time yet before they start to climb up to the strings!

                            That is choc-o-bloc full of colour @Balc and it is not yet in full bloom. Wonderful. Also you are in a good position being the end apartment.
