          Yes, that's Sarafi and although he lives four doors away he spends all day guarding our greenhouse :dbgrtmb:

          When Oscar adopted us many years ago he made his home in the greenhouse and was vigilant at all times :)

          P1070043.JPG

          At 20lb of muscle he was a big boy and no other animal messed with him. He lived on rabbits and cat biscuits - and the occasional fox. Humans and birds were safe :dbgrtmb:

              This Amarylis grows in the conservatory. I don't know if it counts but I'm adding photos of it, and if it isn't allowed I will delete them.

                  Thank you. I thought it may not count because it isn't growing in the garden outside. I couldn't find a thread for indoor plants :)

                        Ooh I like that Erysimum Chelsea Jacket, lovely with the bits of yellow.

                        Pots looking more colourful (my living room window is having some abuse too)

                        Bottom half of the front bed.. looking bit sparse above the heucheras, might move the euphobias above them?

                            Yes, it always looks good with the three colours on the same flower stem. Like Bowles Mauve it seems to flower virtually all year. Note to self: forgot to take cuttings this year (sold all of last year's) so now on the must do list. :dbgrtmb:

                                Erysimum cheiri (Wallflowers) are not my usual thing but I was given the seed as a present last year so I felt kinda obliged to grow them. However, after the deep frosts on top of rain most of my early blooming bulbs blasted so I'm quite pleased to see them in bloom now...............

                                And I actually really like the colour of this one as well!
