a few more pics

Nice one Jade...very good place to be this weekend! I bought that yellow Dahlia this morning Slad! Nice!

thanks Karen, yes it's a lovely contrast with the dark foliage :-) Jade says thanks too.

:)

Lol, Slad, I am glad that hot and sunny days finally reached also the Isles. That swimming pool is a good idea! I have similar for Noris, but he is not very much impressed with it, he likes more my shower corner in the bathroom. He loves shampoo.
---that detail of Delphinium is GREAT!

Great photos, and some very unusual plants. It's nice to have something unusual.
You kept the best two photos for last :o)

Gorgeous plants daughter & dog :o)

I think we could all do with that pool,S.lad..move over Jade :o)love all your plants,especially the Achillea..I bought one which turned out to be what I call a 'mucky' dull pink,and hated it,but I have the tall yellow ones,which I love.I will look out for that one..My Astilbe is only just showing buds,and Lychnis just coming into flower this weekend..a bit behind here in Yorkshire,but on catch up with all this hot weather now..:o)..

lovely plants, I am the same as bloomer, some of the same flowers you have are just about to come into bloom in my garden, hope they look as good as yours when they do flower

Lovely blooms SL - Jade has the right idea!!
Isn't it turning into a gorgeous summer.

Thanks Kat, Millie jumped in just after I took this pick much to jades delight :-) glad Noris loves your shower

Thanks Hywel and Kidsgran :-)

Thanks Bloomer Jade says your welcome to join her and Millie :-))

Thanks Taz I hope yours are lovely when they bloom.

Thanks Scottish yes it's been great here, lets hope it keeps on going for all of us, reached 31.7degrees here today phew a scorcher :-))

Thanks Hb, no I've not got a yellow one I've been on the lookout though :-) no didn't get the chance this week but the coming weekend I hope to be in it..

There's some beautiful hot colours....particularly the reds!
I don't blame Jade....we were away for the weekend by the seaside but, although I took my swimming trunks, I didn't brave the sea.I might have been braver if it was a paddling pool!!

Thanks Paul, hope you had a great time at the seaside.

Smashing, thanks! Back to work today!

You have some lovely plants flowering in your garden right now, S'lad ... love that bright Lychnis ... :o)

Nothing nicer than seeing kids and animals having fun, and Jade and Millie were obviously doing that. The plants are all looking great too. That astilbe is very pretty and I like the anomatheca too but the blue sysyrinchiam is so beautiful.

Thanks Shirley :-)

Thanks Tuesdaybear, yes I love the sis.sapphire in the sun it really shines. :-)
