    Big and blousy blooms today ...

    Rhododendron Van. Each flower is the size of my palm, ginormous :imphrt: Came close to losing her last year as I'd moved her down the side of the house, where she contracted some sort of fungal disease, but with a bit of TLC and a change of position she's recovering.

    First bloom from Rosa Golden Celebration - a real beauty (both in sight and smell) and as with the Gertrude Jekyll, much larger than in previous years.

    Rosa Gertrude Jekyll next to Rosa Mutabilis.

              Thank you :-)

              Picked it up from a garden centre last year at the end of its flowering season. Didnt know if it would be happy where it was but i think it likes it lol

              Just need to find out what one it is so i know how to prune to make it look even better :-)

                  A small pot of Alstroemeria Indian Summer has just flowered, the huge clump planted in March has yet to flower but will be even better than this.

                              Very jealous of your nigellas @shiney

                              I have just had ti remove a few that were growing in the middle of one of my ground cover roses. Felt sad because they are lovely just growing in the wrong place
