                @NigelJ Love that Poppy. I have no luck with them at all, tried many different kinds. I had that Salvia some years ago but haven't seen it since. Your garden always has a "devil may care" feeling ... love it!

                      @Victoria thank you. Plants tend to get stuck in where I think they might grow; with no real thought to colour coordination or an overall plan.
                      The poppies are lovely; in Essex they used to "disappear" after flowering in the dry summers, here in Devon most stay in leaf and I can get a second set of flowers at the end of summer/early autumn and the main problem is them being shaded out.
