Long right hand border

Starting to look colourful now :-)
This is the border I see from my kitchen window.

What a fabulous view Is that Geranium magnificum I can see? I have a lovely clump of it sent by a GoYer a couple of years ago. Favoured by Bees :o)

It is Shirley :-), I have far to much of it lol but its so pretty isn't it, last night I had to put off the spraying of the roses as I planted it all along the front of the rose bed a couple of years ago and at 8 o'clock it was still swarming with bees.
What the hell hey who cares about a bit of black spot the bees are more important :-)

Lovely, so well mowed - congrats to Rob.
When my Vitex is in bloom, 3 types of bees work the day shift and moths take over at night; so there is never a good time to spray.

Beautiful Kathy ,you can be happy washing up ( or loading the dishwasher ) with a view like that !

I agree with you Kathy, can't have too many Bees!

Yes bad bit of planning on my part Wylie with the geranium oh well lol.
Robs mower packed up just before we went away so he's using an old one given to him by a friend not as easy to push as the old one but does a better job he says, typical I spend hours out there but it never looks anything till he cuts the grass!!, I edge by the way lol ;-)
We bought a dishwasher just a few years ago Amy must say I never actually minded washing up :-)
So true Shirley geranium, ceonothus and scabious smothered in them, loads with little white bottoms lol, varieties I don't know :-)

Delightful sight to see from your kitchen

Look at all that space, love it, what a view. So is Geranium Magni at the forefront or to the right Kathy? I have always had what I thought was Johnson Blue but looks like yours. I have huge leaves like at the very front of your photo ;-)

Lovely view, so much space,

Thanks 3d, Dawn and Sue :-)
Magnifucum is the one at the forefront Dawn the one on the right was sold to me as Johnson's Blue I often wonder if its right too as I ve seen so many different pictures of it, there doesn't seem to be a great deal of difference between them Magnifucum slightly more purple maybe?
Oh yes the monster inula!!!lol

Lol I have monster Inula everywhere too. Thanks for the geranium explanation Kathy. Yes, what I thought my Johnson Blue does look like yours, the centres of the Magnifucum seem deeper in colour, I would still like a root of Magni in Sept if possible x
