        Righto, I'll make sure you get some. They're starting to set seed now, so I'll let them ripen up and put some aside :dbgrtmb:

              I've been away in the Lake District for a week and the garden has totally changed! So I have gone round and quickly grabbed a load of shots of it.

                  Our front verge has a lot of wild poppies just emerging amongst the Irises and Alliums - with crocosmia and a range of grasses that should look good later

                      A few bits and pieces which are looking quite good. The intersectional Peony is called Bartzella and is the most fantastic almost luminous yellow. I've had it for about 6 years and eventually it is flowering very well and bulked up. Has super foliage which goes scarlet in the Autumn. Yup expensive but worth it after a few years.
