            Only got the wild foxgloves here but they are blooming well now and some can be seen in this video of the garden from a few days back which ended up being a bit longer than planned as there is a lot in flower at the moment.

            Also posted a shorter clip yesterday showing the view from the living room window when some small birds that are regular visitors were doing their check of the area for food.

            Happy gardening!

                        This lives in a pot on a pedestal in the rockery and the first photos I have of it is July 2007 and it blooms without fail every year!

                              My black bamboo is flowering which may not be a good thing as it sometimes is an indication that it might be on the way out.
