          :wow:

          Looking good @mowgley - my lupins are terrible this year, yet ironically the couple I gave to my next door neighbour are absolutely thriving.

              Sempervivum arachnoides. A gem of a plant - I have this and the redder form settling into the wall.

                Not having much time to care for my garden this year. But, thankfully, it seems to be taking care of itself :heehee:

                today 010 (640x619).jpg

                today 013 (360x640).jpg


                today 014 (360x640).jpg

                Apologies for the lack of quality in the photographs - used my back up camera instead of my usual one.

                              I always find it difficult to capture, with my camera, what the eye can see when wandering around the garden. So I have tried to take a few shots with both wide-angle and then zoomed-in on a focal point. I hope it catches what the eye can actually see – “as if you were here”

                              Dunno if this will work on the Forum, if not its on my Blog (and there are a few more angles there too):
