your plants are looking lovely, i dont usually like pink but your holly's choice astilbe is really lovely.

so many different colours!

a lovely colourful blog there S/L

Nice blog Surreylad. My astilbe is just about to come out too. You have some lovely plants, haven't got room for any more or I would have loved some of your penstemons. I am chokker !!

Lovely blog SL :) Love that Butterfly Orchid! Everything is looking wonderful! :)))))) I might like a bit Penstemons :)

Hi Surreylad..
This is a super blog ...
... your plants are cheery and wonderful.

I hope life is less hectic for you soon.

I especially like the campanula and the astilbe. :o)

Thanks Everyone, yes been a bit manic down here Sticki :-)
Lol Cinders i'm the same i have to clear that area to make way for some Euphorbias i've grown from seed, also some arbutilons...

Hi Pixi, i'll send some up with your Helleborus i promised...

Thanks Terra Holly will be pleased you all like her Astilbies :-)

Ok lol i dunoo where im going to put them all hehe..ill find room!

Lol :-))

Lots of lovely plants in your garden.

Thanks Clarice :-)

Gorgeous plants Slad...'chatterbox orchid'? Great name! I really thought I'd lost mine, but it's now appearing. Doubt it will flower, but at least it's not dead!

Thanks Karen, that's great news i'm glad it's still there for you...

:) thanks Slad...hanging on in there!

:-)

Great pics. I hope you get some new plants from your eucomis :)

lovely as always Surreylad - awaiting our Passion flowers too - llove astilbes, also looking for our lily to flower , a yellow one :))) Campanula is lovely - have this also - lovely pics

Life gets busy and takes over sometimes doesn't it. Don't worry too much about catching up.
Lovely photos of your plants. It will be interesting to see if that orchid seeds about.

Can't believe you didn't like the astilbies! I love them. Wish I lived closer to take you up on your generous offers. Everything looks great!

Thanks Sensei89 :-)

Cheers Paul, i have the blue P. Caerulea but i was curious to see what this one will be :-) look forward to seeing your one too..

Thanks Hywel i hope it does :-)

Lol thanks Lil it's not that i don't like them, it's just not a plant high on my list that's all :-)) i could try to get some rooted cuttings going and send to you if you want me to try. ?

How kind and generous Surrey!! Not a good idea though. As you've pointed out elsewhere I think....postage would be ridiculous. Plus I doubt they would survive the journey. Also I think it is illegal to receive live plants from overseas?? Think it has something to do with unkown and unwanted pests being introduced.
Thank you again!! :)))

no that is true Lil :-)

Lol....I can almost hear you breathing a huge sigh of relief ;))))

:-))

What an interesting selection you have there, SL. I really enjoyed that blog. The soft pink of that Astilbe is gorgeous. Is Holly your daughter, I wonder as that is a real little girl's choice?
I know what you mean about things getting too busy. Last year, I had to disappear for a while from GOY, as I just couldn't keep up with everything.

Thanks Tuesdaybear, yes she's my daughter my eldest one she's mad on pink at the moment..yes it's been so busy here i was thinking the same maybe a break for a while... thanks :-)

im really slow too s.l, love your orchids i find it hard to believe they just grow outside over here lol. is it passionflower passiflora? i love that, will get one soon hopefully lol. and holly bless trying to shove her plant out of the way-atleast its loving its place!! :-)

Thanks Leigh :-) yes passiflora is the passion flower, Lol Hollys plant has gone mad growing there :-))
