“Birthday Girl” Rose ……never seems to disappoint.

These Antirrhinums appear every year…..the one plant has two types of colouring !

This is the second year for Phlomis…..will have to keep it under control I fear.

The next few photos are of the front garden.Last year the front steps were bordered by a huge lavender hedge….decided to remove it and replace with 4 Small David Austin "Edith cavell " roses…..almost in flower.

All beautiful. Which plant is the Phlomis?

Oooh, looking much better without the hedge I think...it's lovely! Great thing about gardening...there's always room for a change and much quicker and more fun than redecorating indoors!

It all looks great meadowland. I think those roses will look so much better than the lavender.
Your clematis is a stunner!

Thank you, Alan....it's constant hard work to keep it up but well worth it......if there is one rose you can rely on it's "Birthday Girl".Sadly no fragrance.
