You have some lovely plants. Nice photos for you to look at in the depth of winter.

Thank you for sharing, I am always happy to look at other people's plants and gardens.

Not too long at all. Loved it - you've got some smashers there Alex. Just think, in the depths of winter when you can't get into your garden (nothing's growing there anyway), you can sit and look at these and cheer yourself up. There's always the next summer to look forward to!!

You have some beauties there Alex and although its terrible here today, I`m optimistically hoping for more lovely days so we can still admire and enjoy life outside...

I forgot to add one picture, which have just added. One of my favourite petunias, and I forgot to add it.
It has been added to the bottom.

Hi Alex, you have some lovely plants there. I love your pink buddleia, do you know its name? :-)

The box said DavidII, but the pictures I have seen on google of DavidII look nothing like this one.
I have never seen a "sparkly" looking one before.

That's why I wanted to know which it was, it looks amazing, not like any I've seen:-)

What lovely pictures. You have a lot going on. I prefer to think of it as midsummer with some lovely days going into september and a long beautiful autumn. How ever I am already planning for next year and making a list of what has to move and what I can do better. In the mean time I am enjoying every sunshiny hour.
