      Maybe not so “wow” at the end of a summer’s day, as the lilies have closed for the evening, but it gives me joy!

        Does this look familiar @ARMANDII ? It's excelled itself this year - it's second. This is just one stem full of flowers. Thank you! :)

          It's the rose, Sheal, that my Wife spotted at a stall during a RHS Flower Show at Tatton during the 90's and really liked, so we bought it. It was actually the last one on the stall of the local commercial rose grower so we were more than pleased to get it. It's name is, for me, appropriate............"Crazy for You" and stands pride of place in the border by the Green House bringing back the good times of being with my Wife.:love30::wub2: It's quite a good size now and has given, literally, hundreds of flowers and it is still flowering it's head off, with the bonus of being a repeat flowerer. In my sandy, hungry soil, Sheal, I feed it and the rest of the Roses often and regularly and they all have done really well and it's good to see your's is doing so well.

          You're more than welcome, Sheal, my friend.:love30::thumbsup:

            I think Mrs Armandii would be pleased to see it too. :) For me it's called by your first name now. ;)

            Yes, mine are fed well too as I'm gardening on sandy loam which devours everything. :doh:
