some colour.

lovely cheery pics SL - nice collection of reds - second picture is so summery especially :))))) we have a bat that flies around the house - nice happy blog mate :))

Cheers Paul, after the rain i thought be nice to have some colour, i do like bats i sit by the pond at dusk and watch them some times... :-)

:)) yes - great time of the day .

some lovely colours there S/L, a lovely blog too,

Fab set of pics... difficult to pick favourites but the Liatris is amazing, as are the carnation and hydrangea :o)))

Cheers Paul :-)

Thanks Yorkshire :-)

Thanks Terra :-)

What a lovely blog. I love the way you've remained chatty but informative at the same time. Super pictures. I've tried everywhere to get a Lavatera Barnsley, but it seems to be out of favour at the moment, perhaps I should try 'baby' instead.

there is a simple solution SL. " Holly ! You are grounded for a week." Enough time to get it fixed ;))

That Dahlia is fab.

These are gorgeous pictures SL.....the colour of that Hydrangea is gorgeous! So much going on...water lily is spectacular, the Liatris is so much further on that mine and my white one has been finished off by the slugs!!
The trilelia is still looking good....my pink one is opening up now - although pink is kind of pushing it a bit - more of a mauve to my eyes.
Thank you for showing us the lovely colour you have. I really enjoyed :)

Thanks Waddy, i'll see if i can get a cutting to strike for you if you like. :-)

Lol Pimms, cheers mate :-))

Thanks Hb. glad the triteleia helped, the waterlily's have been amazing this year.. i was lucky with the Dahlia as i got it without a label as a small plug plant cheap so i didn't know what it would turn out like, The Geums came today thanks very much they are great :-)

Thanks Scottish :-)

Some lovely plants in your garden, SL. The hydrangea is gorgeous and I really like that triteleia, especially as I've never heard of it before. Lovely to encounter new plants. Well done for snapping the little bat too.

Love the bat! Don't they move fast!! We often wait on our balcony for dusk and watch several little bats flying out from our roof eaves but, as I said - they move so fast I can never see what species they are.

great pictures and blog.Stunning flowers:)))))

Really lovely blog SL..everything is look ing pretty and healthy :) Did Holly scream at the moth?

Thanks Tuesdaybear :-)

Thanks Nariz yes they really move fast i love them :-)

Cheers Mark :-)

Thanks Pixi yes she screamed then called for me Lol :-))

Lovely pics Sl and I would be pleased with the gorgeous colour on that hydrangea too. We've had no bats flying round this year and we normally have one or two. Must be the awful weather we've had:-)

Haha :) Sarah told me she had a huge one in her flat the other night..she was scared but had to deal with it herslef lol only way to learn really. I remmber being sacerd of them and Daddylonglegs when i was small.

I'm scared of daddy longlegs ....their legs fall off:-(

So many beautiful flowers in bloom now :)) Mine Alliums and Liatris finished in June/July and I do not know how long is the season of lilies, but they bloomed in June too and that was all. That Hydrangea has excellent colours, will remember its name when I will go to GC. Better do not move it and keep it in that place! :)
I must subscribe to your Club of Bat Men. I have two bats in my garden, too. But usually do not have time to watch them, lol.:))

Thanks Bornagain yes the weather has probably affected them too.

lol Pixi my Holly hates daddy longlegs too she says they look too much like big spiders..

Thanks kat, i plant my Lily's at different times so i get a longer season of colour, welcome to the bat club :-))

Lots of colour and interest there.
That hydrangea was a lovely colour ;o)

Thanks Hywel :-))

gorgeous blog:-)))) admired so much:-)))

Thanks Junna :-))
