              Your visitors book Kristen. £250 is way out of my league. I open envelopes and write my shopping list on the inside to save £,

                :heehee: OK, I'll get a couple - in case the first one gets dirty :)

                Can't do that with Smythson envelopes, they are tissue paper lined on the inside - useless for shopping lists ... you'll have to stick to Cornflake Packets :stirpot:

                    A few things;

                    My new Diplarrena has settled in well..................
                    [​IMG]

                    [​IMG]

                    The Campanula thyrsoides looks fantastic...................
                    [​IMG]

                    Brugmansia sanguinea.................
                    [​IMG]

                    A last shot of this Foxglove before it gets the chop at the weekend (too pink for my tastes)..............
                    [​IMG]

                    Daylily (which is surprisingly fragrant)................
                    [​IMG]

                    Bearded Iris and a really nice Aquilega (which also has to go as it seeded itself in the wrong place).........
                    [​IMG]

                    Kalanchoe x houghtonii continues to look good.....................
                    [​IMG]

                    Eccromocarpus scaber never lets me down...................
                    [​IMG]

                    Asphodeline lutea gets better by the year.................
                    [​IMG]

                    Isoplexis isabelliana in the bed. The colour and size of the blooms is better than those grown in the pots................
                    [​IMG]

                    Digitalis "Illumination Pink" (a cross between Digitalis purpurea and Isoplexis canariensis) is just starting to bloom. The mild winter has done this no end of favours!
                    [​IMG]

                    Another photo of Nectaroscordum sicilicum as it just gets better with time..................

                      Saw this in a Brighton park, no idea what it is but is looks beautiful. Is it a scabiosa? [​IMG]

                        Woo and Longk lovely pics, isn't it great that almost every day there is always something different in the garden to snap - I love it!

                            Thanks!

                            I just get impatient! I'm waiting for the various Digitalis species that I've grown from seed to bloom, and then there all the new seed grown Salvia. Must learn to appreciate what is doing it now more, and more importantly I must learn patience!

                              Hi Jack I am sure it's an Astrantia Major.

                                Yep., it's Astrantia Major it could be the A. Florence, A. Buckland, A. Moira Reed, or something in that direction!!
