Pretty one of two bought in a supermarket last year - cheap as chips!

They're often the best: less 'miffy'. Lovely shade. Do you know which one it is?

Its lovely Shirley but mine haven't even started to flower yet ! Apart from Altsromerias and geums, everything else seems to be behind other gardens !

Ladies, sorry to be about a week behind with a comment. Both this and the second one are flowering really well, even in this 30 degree heat!

No problem,Shirley,mine are just about to open anytime now..and if you are like most of us,you will have been trying to keep cool,with much difficulty ! Today,I have mainly stayed indoors,as it's really been too much..:o(

Sandra, I've been having cardiac issues (again!) with the 'Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow' heart rate. We booked a timed visit to Denman Gardens for 10am today which was great as the next visitors aren't allowed in for half an hour, so we saw nobody on our walk around. Lots of large trees casting shade so a pleasant walk around. Might post a blog tomorrow ...

Have you seen the pictures on the news from Bournemouth and Brighton beaches today? Unbelievable crowds ... :o((

Oh dear,Shirley,sorry to hear that. Hope you get sorted soon.Nice to go out though,and having all that shade would be more than welcome on such another hot day..

Yes,I saw the pictures on F/Book earlier..just appalling ! What is wrong with these people ???It was bad up here in Ilkley too,and I believe there was fighting as well..We won't be going anywhere near any places like these,for a long time,it seems :o(

Sandra, if these idiots saw how the NHS staff have to dress for their work, let alone the sights they see every day, I'm sure they would think twice about meeting up in their hundreds as they are doing ... :o(
