          The last of July from me...
          Several panoramic views first:

          Not at my best in colour control, but it's an awfully 'Bulgarian' combination and I just love it:

            Hydrangea macrophylla 'Cardinal'

            No varietal names for these two roses, sorry...

            Dahilas..., the yellow one is 'Polka', but as for the front one, I have to wait for all to bloom, because I purchased some quite similar varieties.

            And an astilbe I just loved at first sight:

                  Gardens looking good Sheal, you've caught up with us at last after your slow start- lovely Cosmos and that grass is quite unusual - I like it - as like you I have never really been into grasses.

                            Thank you, Kristen. Jenny is correct in that it is called "Royalty". The blue resembles that of the geranium "Johnson's Blue", so erring, ever so slightly to a mauve tinge?
