        My Graceful Beauty alliums are out. Beatiful white flowers with purple stamens. I bought them to complement my other alliums. Somehow it didn't quite work out.

                    @roders @Loki i just love it. Its changed over the years and it's always been lovely. It used to have a vegetable plot at the bottom but changed into a gravelled seating area with trees as grandmas got older.

                          I had a quick wander round the garden with the camera (it's never really quick) this evening. Some new plants are starting to flower and some I'm looking forward to later this month, or next, for them to flower.

                          These are some I'm waiting for. Veronicastrum towards the middle back, Lucifer in front of it and the white Hebe right in the front.

                          The wild garden down the back has been left for the seeds to set as most of them flower in Spring

                          But the bee orchids are only just starting to open (a bit blurred - sorry!)
                          P1390261.JPG

                          Waiting to burst into colour but still attractive in bud form
                          P1390262.JPG

                          Jerusalem Sage trying hard to burst into life. A few bees have been checking them out and they'll appear in their masses in a week or two

                          These make my eyes go funny. Nodding grasses interspersed with love-in-a-mist

                                I find that the standard type of Philadelphus (second photo) has too sickly a smell but the other one is more delicate.
