    Nearly there:smile:

    Still looking for that elusive Yellow Iris sent to me from my friend @Lolimac I am hoping its fell in to the pond and wasn't half hitched;)

    Thanks Loli:ThankYou:

    I was a little concerned about the waterlily "Attraction" which my friend @pete kindly drove up and delivered it personally,that the pond was to deep but as you can see its growing well:smile:

    Thanks Pete:ThankYou:

        Your garden's looking good Woo. :dbgrtmb: Did you give up on the meadow flowers or are you expecting to see them this year?

            No personal experience of that one, woo ... but I did find this for you:-

            Suitable for small pools, growing up to 2 ft. and happy in up to 4 in of water. A beautiful iris, having vivid magenta coloured flowers, marked with white. The foliage is also an added benefit as it provides a vertical interest over a long period and is suited to both formal and informal settings. They are relatively easy to grow as long as you remember that they don't like drying-out Source

                        Good afternoon @wiseowl :spinning: are you going back for more of the same, or, did something else catch your eye? Or, maybe you are going just for pot luck?

                          Saw your post and was going to make a quick a trip down...then remembered I have 20 odd dahlias shooting in the greenhouse, 6 young plants grown from seed and just sown another 12 or so 10 minutes ago. Think I'll stay at home! Must resist temptation!
