Got a few bits doing their thing just now.

 

Whats the pink flowers round the edge of your pond pete...i could do with coverage like and as pretty as that x

 

Took these today;

Two climbing roses (with no names), either side of my arch with some clematis; both bought for 99p from Home Bargains. They are huge blooms, the yellow 5-6 inches and the white about 4-5 inches





A lovely dark leaved Dahlia with cream flowers;



And some cheap and cheerful French Marigolds around the base of the Plum tree in the Veg patch;

 

Well the daylilies are at their peak now, its taking well over an hour to deadhead every day now, such a chore among all that beauty

 

Lovely,youve got beautiful bargains fella xx

 

I have to admit I'm not sure jools, I think its a sedum.
I nicked it from a church garden in Epping back in 1989 when I was building the pond.
Its flowering better this year because of the rain I think.

 

I shall have to google then,its lovely,it would be ideal in some areas of our ponds, or maybe put it up in the I.D. section ...to be quick,maybe some one will know x

 

We went for a walk round an opencast next to us and in the river was these,just thought the leaf looks very similar to ur plant but these are in full sun and in water..dont know if the garden project has added them thou,i will keep a look out for them to flower

 

I dont have any clear shots of foliage and flowers, infact I only know its there when it flowers.
I could send you a bit if you like.
PM me.
