Many thanks for this which is blooming at the moment. It's such a smashing colour at the front of border. I have lots of leaves but only 1 flower stem at the moment. Is it a bit early Jasmine?  |

Thanks Jasmine, I did think it should be autumn or early winter when it blooms but I guess it's confused with the weather we've had. |

I would say it was more of a late summer / early autumn flower!

Perhaps my garden thinks that the few hot days we had at the beginning of June were the summer and it's now going into autumn mode.   |

No, they couldn't wait Ladygardener !  I bought 6 lilies reduced at Wyevales last year - these are 3 of them...  They've been a bit bothered by lily beetle but I sprayed them and haven't seen any since. |

Thanks Ladygardener. You got 6 plants in a little carry tray and while no one was looking I picked the 6 lilies I liked the colours of!  |

Lovely lilies Jasmine, if you're offered an opportunity to pick out your own plants, it would seem rude not too  Grace  |

This Cosmos turned out to be a double!  One of my Achilleas - can't remember its name.  |

The hot border is coming into its own now.  There's a little bit of lavender from Little Carlow in amongst the red and orange! Towards the back of the picture is one of the Rudbeckia Cherokee Sunset plants that I grew from seeds Jilly sent. I love them - they've all come out different! |

 This is a great pic Jasmine, shame it was'nt bigger. I love the autumn colours of Cherokee Sunset too and your Helanium are great/ What is that maroon leaved plant called? I thought that was Little Carlow at the front. |

 That's a great combination Jasmine I love Cherokee Sunset, the 2 you sent me are both stripy but ones single & the other double, but the ones that came back from last year are a real toffee apple brown. The Gladioli really set everything else off too My Little Carlow is just starting to come out too, but the Helenium & Rudbeckia are still sulking  |

Thank you for the noms and kind words ladies. I don't know how to change the size of my pics now, I can only just about cope with the changes on PB and upload stuff  The shrub is Cotinus Grace Ladygardener. Little Carlow has so many buds to come out - is yours in better shape now? I've noticed mildew on the pulmonaria but I dug up some daffodil bulbs the other day and the soil was so dry so far down. I'm giving everything good hose today. I have a double/triple toffee brown one too Jilly. I wasn't keen on it at first and was going to have it out but it's grown on me! The gladioli was part of a packet of 6 reduced bulbs...not sure where the others have got to |

Thanks for the nom Rosefriend. Is picture size down to the camera then and not PB - you used to be able to upload your pics in the size you wanted If your camera is set to a small size then PB (as it is now) will only upload the size that your camera has. IF, however, it is only your PB settings then I can help you there Jasmine ??!! RF |
