Well it rained non stop from 1pm yesterday until 9am this morning , so I have been around to see how the plants have survived and you know what they have :) Wednesday our local primary school had a fete which included a plant sale bought 2 coleus for £1 and a Heucheras for 50p the lady said it was from her garden and was called purple palaces . so I hope it will take off like Terra’s lol, I think her dogs do better at gardening than me :)

What a lovely lavender. Yo have some good plants there. I think the heuchera might be Palace Purple rather than Purple Palaces, but there are so many now who knows... Hope it grows well for you anyway. I see you have my good old euonymus standby - can't go wrong with those!

Lovely K`gran, if thats what you call mishmash then its a good recipie, the birds have all started coming back to my feeders now, I try to encourage them to fend for themselves in midsummer but they keep coming and asking....

You've got some lovely plants, and you bought a nice heuchera in that sale. I've got one of those. It's called Palace Purple lol It's lovely when it grows :o)

Thank you all for your kind comments ,Hywel Palace Purple seems the right way round lol , Scottish the bird bath was leaking OH got fed up of trying to seal it so it became quirky feature with the owl on it .. but I must say I so enjoy viewing all member's gardens and you are all so friendly & helpful .

Wonderful pics. You have beautiful gardens and I love the red,white and blue theme of the pots. I've added this blog to Gravel Garden ideas.
Nice to have the collared doves visiting. :o)
