Pretty and the butterflies love them all :O)
Black Knight, the camera alters it slightly it is darker than this – I would say very dark Purple in colour
Pink Delight
One that Karen sent me unfortunately the tag/label has lost its title. Please can you rename it for me Karen.
Finally the White one sorry had it for years and no idea what its name is
Not only the Butterflies like them but the Hoverflies do too :O)

I really did gasp at the colour of the first one - but had Black Knight once so was quite disappointed when you said that's what it is! they are all loking great.

Lovely, my 'royal red's just starting to flower, a lovely purple, haven't done a pic yet :)

Oooh, now, I remember I grew about. Weyeriana bicolour there and sun gold too. But this is too dark for bicolour. I can't remember growing African Queen that long ago, but it does look like that one.

it was only a very small cutting when you sent it to me Karen, it is quite a big shrub now.:O)
Stera as I said in the caption it is quite a dark one the camera does lie after all :O) it makes it look more blue than dark purple. But I like it so it will do for me. :O)
Daylily post a picture for me when you have taken one so I can see what it looks like please :O)

that is it then, they are a little early this year, think they are usually in flower towards the end of July when the girls are on holiday from school. They are only just flowering so hopefully they will keep going for a long while. :O) We are always about two weeks behind the southern areas of the country up here on the eastern side of the country in Lincolnshire.

Such a funny season, everything's out at once and there'll be nothing left for later!
