Lovely pics, everyone. Simbad, your garden is wonderful. You have the space to have generous drifts of things. I envy you. I have far too much stuff in a very small area, so things always look 'bitty'. I don't think I'll be able to give up my plant collecting obsession any time soon, however. I'll just have to get a bigger garden instead.

Lysimachias are always known as 'lipsmackers' in my family ...

 

Thankyou ClaraLou, it is great having a big garden,lots of work but love it, the main reason I have big drifts is I just can't stop myself pricking out all my seedlings, think the only solution is to just sow a few seeds, just hate throwing them away, I've got 30 lobelia tupa!!!(my hand slipped when sowing the seed :gaagh in quite large pots now, where the heck am I going to put them all, maybe I should open a nursery,lol.
I won't be able to look at lysimachias without thinking that now

 

Shiney forgot to say,I found some seed of that lovely phytolacca of yours on chilterns:yess:, just hope I can get them to germinate.

 

Stunning stuff guys. I really liked the walkabout.
