                        More lovely flowers Simbad, not looking as tho you need to get the machete out just yet! Here's the photo of my small Iris. She grows about 18 inches tall. Thought the flowers were darker than they are but still a very pretty maroon and normally generous with the numbers of flowers. Doesn't need for it to be too damp to grow well either.Let me know if you like a bit. Picture 015.jpg Picture 020.jpg

                          A wander around the garden yesterday brought me this colour.

                          One of the Clematis on the inside of the Trellis Entrance.

                          and this one is ready to open in the Ivy hedge by the pond.

                          One of the characteristics of the Teasel [which I grow in the borders] is that it provides a well of water for the passing Bees and other insects.
