    Nice ones, Mike! I'm a great fan of aquilegias too - although I don't know their names for the most part, just love the leaves!

    Particularly like your cistus too - I used to see lots around Hemel when I lived there, and have planted a few up here too!

    We have a white cistus too, but that is nearly over, just a few blooms remaining. I find them a bit invasive unless cut back hard after flowering.

    Cheers MIKE

    It's a white one I've got - and I ahve seeds for lots more!! I particularly like the leaves, and the papery-like petals. They were used as a sort of hedging plant around council house groups in Hemel, so I can believe they might well be rather invasive (that was the pink-flowered ones)

    If you can put names to any of those with just Name? in the title box please PM me, similarly if you see any wrong names, and confirm or otherwise the names of any with ?? marks.

    Cheers MIKE
