    Amandii you garden must be a gardeners paradise - the colour of those sweet peas and the fragrance of them must be quite amazing! Great pics as usual.

          Just one to show off today (well, I took the photo Sunday, but it's still looking good!)

          Clematis "Royalty"


          Hmm, seems I can't upload the file? :frown: :scratch: :dunno:

          Oh well, you'll just have to take my word for it that it's pretty and "looking good" :heehee:

              It's the first time I've grown Cosmos and I'm really pleased with their display. :)

                Lovely mix of summer colours Sheal and I like the symmetry of the grass - very nice,

                  Thank you Jenny. :) I'm not a lover of grasses but the seeds for this one caught my eye earlier in the year in a catalogue.

                        Hi Jenny, well, No.1 is a Anemone starting to open up, No.4 & 5 is Saponaria [Soapwort] which is very reliable and has such a pretty flower.:snork:

                          Thank you, just had a Google,
                          the saponaria is a pretty little thing. Is yours the perennial?
                          Jenny

                          Yes, it is, Jenny. As you know I use a lot of hardy perennials in the borders and that is one of them.:snork:

                            Hi everyone, been away recently due to 'stuff'.
