Bloomin' rockery!

As promised, an update on my rockery now it’s in (almost) full bloom! Things have grown so much that it’s hard to tell that it’s a rockery, as the rocks are hidden by the foliage.

The Dianthus are a beautiful pink:

and the two Hypericums are a site for sore eyes:

Never having had Nasturtiums before, I was very excited to see the first flower – on the photo it looks a bit yellowy but it’s more of a peachy apricot colour really:

My lovely little Nemetia are doing me proud, I love this plant:

although I was a little disappointed that every single petunia that I bought from my local farm shop turned out to be salmon pink! Nevertheless, they look lovely:

and last but not least, last year’s winter violas are still going strong!

The rockery is what I see from my back door and it never fails to cheer me up!
