    Another side of pic above, Viewed from where I park my car. Love that hosta. There is a little rose shrub just behind the hosta that gives up about 5 flowers a year even in shade.

      Waterlily "Gonnere" or Snowball is its common name and sounds better than having a disease :snork:

                            I love the colour of that orange hawkweed and went of with my camera yesterday to take a piccie of a patch that I know of. It's by a path alongside Hawkweed 002.JPG a Housing Community set up near me. It's undergoing a complete renovation and is full of workmen but no occupants and they have let the grass verge grow wild this year so they are difficult to see but they are still there,
