        Still a bit early but this patch of our bed is coming to life, Armeria, Alchemilla Thriller, Alyssum and Hebe Veronica that is now loaded with bids ready to burst.

              Hi Jack - the small white and the blue are both alliums - I particularly like the colour of the blue.

                  Thanks Jenny - don't you just love it that as some stop flowering others take over.

                      @Kristen It doesn't seem to bother them at Bressingham. (Yes, I know Bressingham is in Norfolk but Suffolk is at the bottom of their garden).

                      Some of their Rhodos:-

                      And their Dell
                      P1200508.JPG

                      Bressingham might be another good place for a GC Meet Up. The head gardener said that late July/early August is the best time. The garden centre is no longer theirs and is absolute rubbish!

                          Your oxalis looks great!! I had one and loved it but accidentally killed it and haven't been able to find another one. May have to order online as I do miss it.
