Ready for more flowers ? !!!

Lovely flowers Louise. Good pics. Well done :o)

Beautiful colours Louise. I love the Hemerocallis.

Such a pretty garden and lovely pics too.

Lovely Louise, lots of later colour in your garden :-))))

great photos & lovely garden Louise...

Beautiful. :-)))

Gorgeous and I hope you didn't get any stings? :~))

Lovely pics

Thanks everyone :-)
Ian, it was very, very close - they are everywhere here !

lovely pics

Your borders are looking fabulous Louise......wish I lived round the corner...I'd be round for cuttings....lol. All your hard work has paid off....you have a beautiful garden :-))

Lovely colourful borders, Gaura doing very well......

Always ready for more flowers Louise..:o). Lovely flowers and borders!

Lovely pics Louise, your lucky to have loads of bee's, we don't have many, lots of small bumble bees, not many big ones this year......

fab photos and garden I really liked the first one with the bees.

Clematis Pistachio is a stunner! I had one once in the conservatory but I lost it. Well done keeping yours out!

Lovely to visit your garden, Louise! I love all the flowers you have there as well. :-) The photo at the top with the bees is a great shot. The bees are very unlikely to sting you, Louise, as their life goes with the sting, remember! You would have to do something pretty foolish to make one want to attack you, all they are interested in is the pollen & the nectar they can get from the flowers.

Understand the bee problem on the echinops - they're absolutely smothered this year. Lovely colour blends going there. Is that an argyranthemum in front of the white Dahlia? - it's a lovely rich colour.

you have stunning plants. i can see why you and spritz get on so well :o)

lovely plants and pics louise, garden looks great ;o))

Nothing better than pictures of a beautiful summer garden Louise, especially like the clematis and the big male Bombus lapidaries.

Thanks everyone :-)
Wagger, i can see why you think that it's an argyranthemum but it's actually the dwarf echinacea i have here, E. 'Pink Double Delight' ...... my favourite echinacea :-)))))))))))))))
I adore echinaceas but this little one is top of my list !
Thankfully they're one plant that likes this dry garden !!!

Thats a lovely one of Clematis ‘Pistachio’. Bees are being busy, good to see them around. Your garden is looking stunning Louise.

It is indeed - I saw it today! It's a 'wow' garden, I can tell you. Full of colour...:-))))

Beautiful garden Louise, lovely photos with loads of colour. I think everyone is seeing an upsurge in bees this year, very good news.

I was going to ask the name of that lovely echinacea, but no need now. How come your gaura is standing poker straight? Mine (rosy Jane) is all over the place. Lovely pictures once again Louise:-)

Would you believe that the white Gaura grew from a cutting I took from my plant? It loves Louise's garden. :-))))) It's a shorter form than Rosy-Jane - and yes, she's all over the place in my garden, as well.

Their trials of Echinacea on GW last night were interesting - did you cut yours down as soon as you planted them? I bet not, lol.

Errrr, nope :-/
I wish i'd seen it :-(

I tried to watch GW, but when I turned it on..it was European Athletics! When was it on Wagger? Do let us know what they said and which did best in trials. Is it the first time you've grown rosy jane Spritz?

SO lovely to see all those blooms close up

It was delayed until 9.30pm, Ba - catch it on BBC Iplayer - you too, Louise. Basically, the more highly bred eg all the latest ones are not so good.

:-(((

It was interesting I didn't cut mine down either...

Ditto:-(((

your borders are looking great L

Thanks Grindle, i need to make a few changes though, i've decided !!!
I need to replace the mildew prone stuff and have larger displays/clumps of the successful ones ..... nothing's ever finished ! ;-)))

Nor should it be.....

I find my aquilegia 'texas' bought at Malvern, totally mildew prone, I've never had this before with aquilegias. I'll give it one more chance next year as it was very lovely for a while:-)

Ba, most of the aquilegias here have mildew by the end of the summer :-(

So do mine - I just pull all the mildewed leaves off.

These are really lovely flowers and pics. I love flowers.
With Regards

Gorgeous photos of a stunning garden, Louise! Wish mine looked this good!!!x

Texas had it within a couple of weeks here, but to be fair, it was still in its pot as I had no borders:-)

Love them all Louise.
