I'm quite pleased that not many lilies went from my plant stall - all the more for me!

Lilium 'Rosella's Dream'

Lilium 'Spring Pink'

My Photinia hispida has just started flowering. If you remember, I planted it in place of a dead Lavatera, and what a good thing that turned out to be in retrospect! I really love this little tree.

I hope Rosa 'Handel' counts as pink...

This plant is great - hardy and lots of flowers.

And the glory of the garden it shall never pass away!

They're Nemisia Geranium called Wisley Vanilla, I've got a big one already but these were in the 7 plants for £10 basket plant offer so I had to grab a couple more, it's got the most exquisite perfume, so strong the big one in one of the beds scents the whole garden.

That's a lovely Dahlia torontotrini
