    This is on an unknown Callistemon variety, about 7ft high but rarely has more than six flowers or so, from a distance it looks slightly orange.

              Pass! :heehee: Everything in our garden has to fend for itself :noidea:.

              There's too much for us to do to bother with trying to sort out individual problems. It doesn't stop us worrying or getting upset about it, though!

                The hover flies are enjoying the Night Phlox, struggled to grow this in the past but had limited success this year.

                First Tricyrtis in flower, Latifolia "yellow sunrise", very early flowering, it's about 3 weeks late this year.
