This bed is next to the gate, in the lower garden. Snapdragons had a hard start but did very well after that. I think I should pinch them to get more. Dianthus a return from last year with the hosta and the white delphinium in the back finally getting the first blooms. (They were eaten off by a pest last year) Deep in the center is a new clematis that is slowly filling in the fencing. Tangutica, a bright yellow bell, not seen here.

Thank you. All these dianthus are back on their own from last year. Excited about that.

Thats great I find it hard to get them to go over to the next year mine normally all die off.

Thank you. I'm very pleased. I have decided to pinch the baby snapdragon each year though, as I got many tall skinny ones, but the one that broke of is a bush of 10 flowering canes, much better for my short season. I had never thought about doing that purposefully.
