    Got a couple more plants at weekend. Another ligularia rocket for the bog garden and this tiarella sugar and spice in the sale section £3, I've since divided it into 3 and planted it with an actaea, the marking on the leaves reminded me of the actaea so thought they'd look well together.

    Boscobel finally opened today. It's very slow growing so far, though was only bought in October last year so is very young. Hoping it picks up a bit.

    Can anyone identify this beautiful rose?

    It’s a persica rose - this group has a characteristic darker eye at the base of the petals. There are quite a few similar roses available. I have ‘For Your Eyes Only’ - note the ‘eye’ theme.

    Check out how long the running time of the battery is as some only last only 20 minutes. Also the cost of replacing the battery when it dies as they are very expensive.
