        I posted these in my Mediterranean style garden thread but some people won't have seen them. First is Cyclamen hederifolium.

        Next is Euphorbia characias wulfenii. The grey foliage plants are coming into their own now and the Verbena bonariensis just does what it wants to do.

        And the Echavarria looks nice next to the thymes.

              One of our large fuschias is now starting to do well. It's 8ft high and spreading out quite a lot and cramping other plants. So I shall have to think about cutting it back.

              It's also creeping over the laurel hedge behind it and trying to attack the Zebra Grass :heehee:

              On a smaller scale
