        I'll try, although I'm led to believe that they're not a good subject for cuttings. If it strikes you can have it!

            Hi @Rich garden I'll be bringing along some Oxalis Iron cross to Shiney's Open Day on Saturday if you are going. They originated from Jenny in the first place and I've got a few pots like this as spares:

              I haven't had time to take many photos.

              The dark red Weigelia is becoming quite showy
              P1200525.JPG

              Yesterday we got the hanging baskets out from shelter and ready for hanging. Whilst they're under shelter and growing well it's much easier for us to stand them on pots to keep the trailing bits touching the ground. Using cut down canes is also helpful to put the hanging hooks into. This saves having to search amongst the plants, and possibly damaging them, when we need to hang them.
              We had a monsoon last night and they've now got a bit battered :doh:
              P1200514.JPG

              I can't remember whether I've already posted this one :sad:. We've got lots of them all round the front garden. So we recently dug some out for sale.
              P1200335.JPG

              Just as I was about to stop taking photos I glanced up and saw this in the gutter!!!

                      No I don't want paying, Jenny sent them for free to me in the first place. This year I grew a few extra for Shiney's Open day, any left over hopefully he can sell on the plant sales tables.

                        In my garden this evening.

                        The herbaceous bed is looking colourful now :)

                        002.JPG

                        The view from my favourite garden seat, with the same bed backlit by the evening sun.

                        007.JPG

                        This guelder rose is so heavy with flower, the branches are drooping after the recent wind and rain.

                        010.JPG

                        Acer Drumondii, always looks good at this time of year.

                        012.JPG

                        A bit of an oddity. I have plenty of self-seeded teasels around the garden, I quite like them.
                        This one appears to have some kind of pale green/yellow colouring to the leaves. Could it be a virus, or perhaps variegation causing this? Anyone else seen this before?

                          Hey, I hope you will open a dedicated thread and share pictures from the Sineyland visit...
                          @shiney, that glimpse into the gutter made me smile. And your hanging baskets - soooo beautiful!

                            The baskets are looking very sorry for themselves after the torrential rain! :sad:

                            Raining lightly but steadily, but it's brightening up a bit. :)

                                What is that in your gutter @shiney?

                                Things are starting to happen here in FC's haven -

                                This is the 'outdoor gang' which are now fully hardened off and are just waiting for me to get my finger out and get them planted:
