Me too - my friend sells plants on eBay, and she got a whole lot of young Phlox plants to sell on. I looked them up on the net to see what colour they would be, and I bought three 'Eden's Smile' and one 'Picasso' from her. That's still in its pot waiting for a suitable space. It looks unusual from its photo, as you'd expect from its name.

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

I love this rose - I know that Chuckles has it - must admit that it is one that I would consider getting...best part is that it is a Kordes rose, same as AF, so it should be healthy..

Yes it is lovely Ladygardener - seeds from T & M (came true to form too - haha) and it is a Annual Monarda... I only did a couple as I didn't quite know what to think but they are lovely little plants and a real bee attraction, just like the perennial Monarda...

I always thought it was an annual Ladygardener but only because I read the blurb from T & M instead of going somewhere perhaps a tad more reliable...the RHS has this to say about it..a perennial it seems....

I have been thinking about buying some of these Ladygardener and I think I will...my Begonias have started late as well this year - one is only just emerging and I planted it at the end of Feb!!

Beautiful monarda RF! It will be great if it does come back next year, so many tiers!!

I bought some reduced mixed summer bulbs from Home Bargains earlier in the year, not expecting much as they were all a bit small - but for 50p I wasn't going to grumble. There were double freesias which have all flowered beautifully, and some gladioli Priscilla corms - delighted today!!

also had a lily open, think this came from Jas originally

Love the Gladioli and have some pics to sow myself but let me into the secret of how you have them upright Tig - even though I planted them so deep mine have still come up all over the place!!
