That is unusual , it,s dainty !

It's beautiful.

this is absolutely stunning...i can see you are all ready for the grand opening...some beautiful garden plants and vews...such lovely colour contrasts, well done you :-)

Not quite, Angie, but getting there! I finished replanting my collection of containers this evening - in the rain! lol.

well if it' s any consilation i re-did all my mums pots and baskets yesterday pm in the rain too! ;-) ....well drizzle really the heavy rain seems to have come during the night.

We have drizzle...again! :-(

we did...but the sun has just come out! horay!!!!!!

I tried to grow Iris last year from bulb but not one of them grew - what did I do wrong?

I live near Glasgow and our garden looks about a season behind yours.

Evy, which sort of Irises did you try?

As to the differences, I am in the mild SW of England, so there's bound to be temperature differences.

I think it was a 'bearded iris', can never remember names - I will have to start writing down the names of plants and take a photo so I remember what they are.

You'll find the 'garden' section on your page useful for that! It acts as a catalogue and a diary for me.
