thanx cristina glad you have enjoyed your day also, it is nice to have plant reminders of lovely people :o))

Glad you're feeling better Sandra - your garden looking great, do peonies take that long to flower ? Glad it has though for you :):):) Look after yourself though to get over completely :):):)

Glad you are feeling better San, lovely photo`s and not a paddy area showing,lol, thank goodness you left that Paeony in, its gorgeous, I honestly think us oldens are going to have to keep an eye on you, I remember you saying last year that patience wasn`t your strongest point......

San its nice to hear you are feeling better and your garden is looking so pretty, that paeony is gorgeous and i especially like the 'mrs gregory bluebell'. aaaaahhh.

thanx paul and yes they do take quite a while to flower first time iv heard, and dont like to be moved either, but worth the wait, im back in work tomorrow but will take my time and not get stressed lol ;o))
thanz sue lol, hey im getting to the oldy stage to you know haha, ;o))
thanx grandmage glad you like the peony and the bluebells, she loved her garden to like us on GOY ;o))

Glad to hear you're feeling better, I didn't know you suffered from ibs, I do too and it's an absolute curse, I'll pm you now with the name of a capsule that helps with that sensitivity and bloating you get in your stomach and bowel after an attack, it helps heal up the lining, so it doesn't all cramp up so tightly, and leave you in a ball on the floor! I see you're as avid a fan of heucheras as I am! Is that Giorgia Peach at the front of your raised bed in the
5th pic down? I'm not so good with the peachy coloured ones, I think it's in just too sunny a spot, I'll have to move it! Yours is glorious!

thanx Libet yes its giorgia peach and i have another pinky peach one to, these are in mostly shade till teatime so ideal and daker ones further along but all seem happy.
your right about IBS its defernatly a curse, will try the capsules thankyou, infact i will try anything as the meds take ages to work.after an attack i feel bruised and beaten Libet and the swelling takes a few days to calm down after a bad one, hope your ok and enjoying your lovely garden and sunshine ;o))

Glad you are feeling better San, lovely flowers and Heucheras, love the aquilegia too.

I think you're right San, about the wee peachy heuchera, I'll move it tomorrow, it's starting to look really huffy!! I don't think it's a sun worshipper! I'll put it somewhere nice and dappled, maybe it'll cheer up! I've sent you those capsules name, I really hope they help, I know what you mean about that bruised feeling, just like you've been mown down by a double decker bus!! Take care!

thankyou cinders, i love the aqualigia its so pretty in pink :o))
got your msg Libet and replied thankyou, i think your peachy will be alot better when moved to, off to bed as working tomorrow so take care and thankyou again ;o))

So glad you are on the mend, you have so very pretty combos in your garden,looking very mature now.

Beautiful Garden Sanbaz...it'll be a real tonic for you.

thankyou Dotty i cant believe how everything has grown since i first started, the fuller the better for me lol :o))
thanx judy it is a good tonic, forget everything when im out there, infact im going out now as finished work for the day and cant waste the sunshine :o))

Nothing like it Sanbaz....cool here but everything looks lovely when the sun is shining !:)

sorry to hear youve been unwell sandra....glad your feeling a bit better... lovely pics of your flowers....

Maybe Mrs. Gregory had something to do with the bluebells flowering Sanbaz....glad you are feeling better take it easy

judy its a bit cooler here to i think and may have some rain tomorrow, but the garden will appreciate it :o)
thankyou holly alot better just need my holiday and think i will be back to normal :o))
thanx SK i think she perhaps did open the bluebells, nice thought :o))

I`m glad you feel a bit better Sandra, there are so many bugs going round at the moment and a few of us at work haven`t been feeling too well either. Your garden really IS lovely. :o)

thanx sandra just looking forward to being in spain on that beach and no cooking for a week now, glad you like the garden :o)) hope your feeling ok to

Great blog Sanbaz, I'm so glad your feeling better today. What a lot of pretty plants. The Peony is lovely, I got one last year and have never seen a flower either. I thought the flower on mine was red, then I read the label again it's white. The foliage has stayed a beautiful burgundy colour.. hope it stays that way for the flower which would be a nice combination! Sorry to hear about the lady who died, as you say you'll always think of her when the bluebells bloom, which is a lovely reminder of someone you thought a great deal of!

PS Enjoy your holidays! x

Pleased you're feeling better San, those photos are lovely....I love the Aquilegia there. You Peony sounds just like mine....I think I got it off Ebay about 3 years ago, and have only had a couple of leaves, but a nice bud this year....don't know what colour it is, it'll be a surprise!
Have a lovely holiday. X

thanx helen hope your as pleased with your peony as i am with mine, worth the long wait for a flower :o)) x
cheers janey i love the little aqualigia to so pretty and grown so much in a year, look forward to seeing a pic of your peony when open ;o)) x

Lovely photos of your plants Sandra. I'm pleased the peony flowered for you - eventually :o)
Sorry to hear you haven't been well and glad you' re feeling a bit better now.

Lovely pictures Sandra, so glad your feeling alot better, I really must sit and put some pictures on, time just runs away.
Your Peony looks lovely mine haven't come out yet.....

thanx Les, your right time does fly and when the sun shines we want to be outside dont we, hope your peony doesnt take to long to flower :o))

Well have a nice time then :) x

cheers hywel x

Hope you are better now. Your pics. are lovely .I have the same aquilegie in lilac as you. It grows so tall i have to stake it. I also had a rhody that refused to flower and hadnt since we moved here 12 years ago. That was a long sulk. It had moved twice in its lifetime.We didnt want to give up on it as it was still healthy so i went up to it one day last year and touched and said in a very stern voice ,next year is your last chance or your out, and it did ,in abundance. It does make you think doesnt it!

thanx rose im ok now. the aqualigia in the pic is a dwarf one so wont get any taller than this but i have taller ones also.shame about your rhody and glad the firm talking did the trick lol starnge how talking to them makes a difference

Lovely pictures, my garden is distraught at the moment even my irises have gone to pot with this wind, I could cry, going away on friday to dartmoor, I shall worry about it for a whole week, grrrr.... glad you are better x

thanx patricia, sorry about your garden, the wind is awfull isnt it at the moment, hope it dies down soon before our gardens are ruined, enjoy your break and try not to think about anything while away :o) x

Somehow I've managed to miss this blog until today...I am behind on reading blogs and looking at photos but don't usually miss yours, San.

I think today is the day you will be going on your hols if I've worked it out correctly....so hope you have a lovely break and feel refreshed once you return home. Just take the days slowly and enjoy the sunshine :)

Your heucheras are sure looking healthy too!
