Wow lovely close-ups ARMANDII
Loving the upside down pictures tirednewdad especially that clematis , do you know which it is? so I can look out for it

 

I've just found seed for that muscari on plantworld seeds HsuH so added it to my growing list from them for autumn, this thread just makes my wishlist longer and longer

 

Love the blue and white aquilegia, Our Mandy, really pretty

Ok, here are some of my efforts (This batch is from the copse end of my garden)

"A hint of things to come ... don't be shy"


Pyracantha ready to burst open its flowers ...



Spiraea x vanhouttei (bought on sale last year; only planted last week I don't like to rush these things )




"Wildlife food" ... the flowers remind me of orchids.

 

On the archway leading into the copse we have ....

Chilean Potato Vine



And the other side of the arch (a Morrison's el cheapo clematis) "Multi Blue"

 

This little beauty was bough on 22 February, the plant no bigger than 4in. It endured a good dose of snow and just before visiting Shiney-land rewarded me with a solitary flower.

Introducing: Elsa Spath


And, another recent purchase: Euphorbia "Ascot Rainbow"



And the first rose of the season (known purely as "Red Rose")

 

And finally ...

Chives emerging from their "Taj Mahal" look ...



And, the promise of cream teas ahead ...



And, just when I thought I knew everything in my garden this little beauty (non-edible!) popped up in my "forget-me-not" pot (from Shiney-Land). Not the best picture because it is a bit breezy and it wouldn't keep still



Yep, things are beginning to look good

 

I think your Rose is the first Mum.... A lovely collection of good doers to please and surprise you,
thanks Mum,
Jenny

Part of the back border. Everything here has been planted in the last 18 months and already I can see overcrowding but I was never any good at planning.


The new growth of the Fatsia Jap Var is looking promising as last years was nearly all green.


Just planted the Ensete Maurelli.
