I love the way how you planted and displayed them, Shirl. I also love your stone wall. Lovely sight all together.

More luck than judgement Klahanie!!, but thanks anyway - Melchisdec too.
I thought they would be small!!
There is a pink Hebe in there with it as well somewhere, but it got swamped!!

My son built the wall for us, I thought he made a good job of it because it is dry stone walling, except for the coping on the top - cemented in!

Most of the houses in Bourton are built of Cotswold stone and it's amazing to see how Japanese people like to take photos of the walls - not just the houses - walls on their own too!! (we get a lot of Japanese tourists)

What a lovely place to live. I'm not surprised photos are taken of the walls (well, not very!) - they are beautiful.

I would definitely photograph your wall if I'd be in the neighbourhood, Shirlwhirl. We do not see very many stone walls around here. Everything is wood.

When the sun shines on the Cotswold stone it glows a lovely ochre colour. Positively magical at sunset. Love the Dahlias too. Is it Bishop Of Llandaff, or some such name?

I don't know the names of the Dahlias Feverfew, I bought them in as a tray of bedding plants!! They grew bigger than I was expecting!!

Looks like 'Bishop of Llandaff' . My girlfriend grows similar dahlia she calls it "Bishop’s Children ".
