Trying the new site out - going to put some pictures on of flowers still...

I really enjoyed your blog Oliveoil....The Anemone looks like mine called 'hadspen abundance'......The Astrantia is lovely, lucky you getting a freebie.....Cant wait to see your roses next summer....:>)

Yes Motinot that name rings a bell, I am shocking with plant names, suppose it doesn't matter it is the plant that matters not the name, just about to order roses. Excited !

All looking lovely Olive :-))

Thanks Annella. pleased you like.

Olive do you know the name of the magenta pink geranium in the last pic please?

Annella, the only tag that was on the plant was Geranium psilostemon, got it from www.woottensplants.co.uk they have quite a large selection on their site. It was new this year, so not very big yet, but a lovely colour.

And still flowering :-))

Lovely pictures Oliveoil, pleased you had no trouble loading them, cannot wait to put some on and try it out.

I'm with you on the red cyclamen...it's beautiful against the foliage too.

You'll have a beautiful spot when you get your roses established...you must be so pleased with your fence construction :) Give your aching muscles a break, as you say, and get your roses ordered.

Great pics - one good reason for updating the site, gets my vote, the photos are so much better, looking good, Oliveoil...

Thank you everyone, nice to hear from you all, pleased you are still here :o))

Agree with Bamboo, the new picture format is brill :-))

Barbara you have some lovely plants. I like those toad lilies. I hope mine decide to flower next year. Good luck with your new roses when they come.

Beautiful plants,Oliveoil,and I agree too,that the new picture format is great...I'm not going anywhere,I have made too many good friends to do that..:o))

lovely blog & photos...beautiful plants too!

Thank you everyone, pleased you are staying.

Yes, I'm pleased too Mum, I got quite anxious yesterday when everyone was threatening to leave us!! :)) Those cyclamen are stunning!!

Hope you are feeling better Karen. I love cyclamen, don't suppose they will last long when it starts to turn cold, they were a bargain buy from Focus, help with a splash of colour when stuff is dying off in the garden.

We have a focus in arbroath but the plants are always awful! Thanks I'm feeling much better. Today I did some gardening and prep for decorating the bathroom.

Our Focus here is terrible too...everything is very neglected usually...hardly ever go in there for anything (even though hubby's sister works there!).

Glad to see you're feeling brighter today, Karensue...now taking on the bathroom decorating as well as the garden...is there no end to your talents?

Pretty flowers:o)

Thanks pip :o)))

All your hard work is now worthwhile, your gardens looking great, you have some gorgeous plants and when your Roses arrive that will be the finishing touch, will lok forward to trhe final picture, well done Olive!

Thanks pansypotter, I am looking forward to ordering the new roses, just waiting to hear if I can tag them on to my original order, don't want to pay two lots of delivery if I can avoid it. lol Pension has to stretch as far as possible. lol

Lovely Photo`s, very colourful, only one solitary autumn crocus here, think the others have been eaten again, my Toad Lilies never flowered, do you think they would do better in the ground as I have them in pots?......
I`m staying as well, I need my Goy fix, also like the bird site......

Probably yes Lincslass in the ground would maybe suit them better, try a nice sunny spot,mine are always later than others because they are in a shady spot, pleased you are staying.

Really nice blog Oliveoil. I think I have that autumn crocus too, certainly looks the same :-)

Glad you like the blog Fractal thank you:o)
