As it’s been a truly nice day here albeit a little windy, so i decided to spend a bit of time in the garden and shed just potting on and general checking on the younger seedlings..
some of the colour here today, :-)
Rose coloured evening Primrose, lovely scent at night…
one of a few fushia’s i have i have this as a gap filler…
I have a raised stony bed and i put these Lobelia’s in there, i didn’t think they’d do quite this well..
A rose my Holly picked, Pink as usual :-)) no name just said Pink ground cover rose…
My raised stony bed, loads of colour there, i plant and just let it do it’s thing… excuse the bricks at the back that’s for next project come autumn….
I get on really well with my local G.C, and as a thanks from them if i spot any plants with seeds on that i like i’m ok to take them, so this is one of them, a pod of Lupinus Arboreus but the purple variety, just got their first true leaves coming…
I couldn’t do a blog without adding this one could i….
And it wouldn’t be me with out a grass pic….
Lastly to finish a water skater’s view of my water lily….
Anyway hope you’ve all had nice weather today and have a good evening, thanks for looking :-)

Agree with Paul, your garden looks very nice. Seems it has enough both water and sun.

How lovely, SL. I really like the rose-coloured Evening Primrose; that's one I've never seen. Holly's rose is very pretty, like an old fashioned dog rose - bet the bees love it. How nice to be on such good terms with your GC. I imagine you're a valued customer. It's been a lovely day here too- and yesterday. You could almost believe it's Summer! Must be dreaming...

Thanks Lulu, yes a Datura just waiting for Meanie to confirm if it's Wrightii, or Metel but i think it's Wrightii.. the pink primrose is a self seeder i never manage to catch the seeds in time but if i do i'll keep some for you..

Thank you. My yellow ones are still flowering away.
I think I'm lucky, most of my friends say all their flowers have gone..........and I have lots of colour.
