                      Eucomis vandermerwei, only one flower this year, the flower is only 9" high.

                      Cordyline Torbay Dazzler and Pink Sunrise (I still can't believe I have it after 5 years, being half hardy) and my Waggy which has really grown well as it was only just over 2ft high when planted 6 years ago.

                        I have my first aster bloom of the season. Its interesting how the one in the pot has bloomed before the ones in the ground.
