    All growing lovely, some new plants this year (agapanthus and some new ferns and palms).... Haven't bothered with Dahlias or other yearlies as they got eaten to death last year, so I've used New Guinee Impatiens and various Begonias.... and stilll got my Cannas from last season.

        No, the sun circle I've had for years! Love tropical plants, most of my garden is made up with them Victoria.... easy to keep. The Banana didn't die off and the palms where flourishing even over the winter.

          Looks really lush, your Agapanthus is well ahead of mine.

            I've been wondering why we haven't seen any pictures this year: yours is one of my most favourite gardens to see on GC - such an inspirational use of space, colour and planting.

            You already know how much I adore your garden space but I have to say it once again: just-plain-:wow: :love30: :love30: :love30:

            Your photographic skills really bring it to life.

            Thank you for the update: I dream! :wub2:

              Lovely! That must be such a nice place to sit back and relax in, enjoying the results of all your hard work!
