          Don't know about the rose and the Tree Peony @Zigs, but if it's in a gateway you probably need to do something about that nettle. :psnp:

                Hi @longk, all I know is that the Lilies are Martagon, which variety I don't know I'm afraid as I didn't buy them, they were in a previous garden. The heads eventually grow huge with maybe anything up to about 12 odd flowers per stem. Wish all Lilies were as easy to please, my yellow spotty ones are just as easy, they are Pyrenaicum variety. Can't remember if I sent you some of those as well. The bulbs of these grow HUGE, about the size of a grapefruit in time. If I didn't send you any and you'd like let me know. The bulbils of your lovely orange Lily are doing well and maybe I'll get flowers next year all being well. Your "smelly" Day Lily has just finished flowering and was great. Photo is of the Yellow Pyrenaicum Lilies.

                  How could I say no to those! PM me when you're ready to split them :blue thumb:
                  Thanks for the id on the Martagon Lily.

                            The Phlomis seems to like any growing conditions - dry, wet, full shade, full sun etc. and grows like mad all round the garden :)

                              I can't remember whether I posted some of these before I went on holiday :scratch: They were taken on the evening before we left.
