        Our front border used to be full of Aquilegia (amongst other things) but, after their recent sad demise from the blight, we have put in grasses. Earlier in the year it's full of irises and allium siculum, then come the hundreds of wild poppies and, later on the crocosmia will be in bloom.

                A few plants around the garden.

                A couple of day lilies that have just started flowering (not sure the names are still legible on the labels but I didn't look :doh:)
