    What I have seen so far, Elin is delightful. A subtle mixture of purple and cream buds about to open out.
    Splendide White, a bit smaller, is going to be a favourite here I think. Looks delightful in its bud stage.:)

        Well I brought a new plant as members know Spiraea "Snowmound"...the flowers have just died on it and it's been watered well since being put in the garden besides plant food and I thought omg not another one died but tonight while watering the garden...I took a good look and it's got lovely new shooting on it and checked the plant up further...there a spring one and summer one...I purchased the spring flowering one.

        I nearly keeled over thinking it was dead :loll:

          But you have proof that it works as you haven't had any lightning strike it :old:

          I stick a banana in my ear to keep the elephants away. It works perfectly. :thumbsup: :snorky:

                Thanks for asking Gail. We have been here 33 years, the area of the photo was relaid about 10 years ago, if you ever have the odd few days to spare you can look at this thread :)

                      I'm pleased with my pretty hanging basket, not sure what the flowers are but love their pastel colours:
