    Wow, mine already finished flowering by now. Do you enjoy the fragrance? I find it bittery and more on the less pleasant side.

      Its a strange scent, I don't find it unpleasant and really it just kind of wafts around on the breeze rather than being there all the time, the bees like them.

        Thanks pete.

        It's certainly not as nice as yours....or yours @Alisa !! Should it have been tidied up and all the droopy dead looking leaves removed?? They have professional gardeners very regularly too.

          A tidy up would help the appearance but usually the lower leaves die off and do fall eventually.

              It looks good though Michael ... I like overgrown. You will have to pay your Lady Gardener for a few extra hours.

                  Oh Michael it looks lovely don't fret, as Vicky suggested a couple more hours from your Lady Gardener will keep it from misbehaving.

                  This time of year it runs havoc with a blink of an eye..ours has in places..I call it The Mother Nature section.;)
