    A few of my blooms this morning:-

    Astilbe just coming into flower

    CIMG0037 (1024x767).jpg

    and how it fits in so prettily with the Sambucus Nigra (same pot) next to the hydrangea "Endless Summer.

    CIMG0001 (927x1024).jpg

    Apologies for the blurry photo, but "Ruffled Feathers" is now in bloom ...

    CIMG0025.JPG

    And new for me this year, the first bloom on a jasmine (and packing a perfume punch despite its tiny size)
    CIMG0017.JPG

    One of the pinks I bought a few weeks ago and now blooming

      This clematis is standing up the rain - looks a bit like a wax work though :heehee:

      CIMG0011.JPG

      a begonia bloom from last weeks £5 bargain pot

      CIMG0032.JPG

      Amelanchier berries ripening up (I predict an influx of blackbirds :heehee: )
      CIMG0022.JPG

      And finally, the "mystery" plant. A couple of years ago I bought a pot of zantedeschia which were pictured as yellow. But, they turned out purple :doh:

      This year, I bought 3 packets of dried looking roots from a cheapy shop and all packets were yellow!

      Here is the end result:

      CIMG0026.JPG

      Pretty though, eh ;)

        Thanks for the link @shiney I'll have a look later on.
        It's nice that people on here come to see your garden.
        Although I would love to visit, I'm afraid I will not be able to do it. I am quite agoraphobic and am unable to travel far from home.
        However, I shall enjoy seeing your photos on here instead :smile:

            True,
            and it's funny - I've just added that to my comment with the edit button.
            Great minds think alike :biggrin:
