I love Lantana camara. Never seen it ibn UK. Just not hot enough here.

Looks like Lythrum salicaria...common name purple loosestrifelythrum salicaria - Google Search

Ah, ha, I thought of that one too, but my mind has to go back to pre-2001 when I lived in the UK and had such houseplants. Don't have any here as houseplants grow outside but different species. Pleased you solved it.

At least the galls on your grapes are the same colour @pete , these gross things are fluorescent yellow!Been reading and apparently there is NOTHING that can be done about it :(

Thankyou so much, I will be going to the garden centre next weekend, can’t wait now

Yes, I think it's just a common name for sedums. I only grow Sedum spectabile (commonly called Ice Plants) and a low-growing one whose species name I don't recall ATM. Pollinators absolutely love the spectabile, there are some really nice ones with purple foliage available but I've heard that...

You can tidy up the dead stems and foliage when they no longer look attractive. The dried blooms retain quite a nice shape until storms whack them up. The plants will make new rosettes in spring.

Thanks Armandii, totally agree. I'll just have to learn to live with the WOOSH WOOSH sound of their wings and the momentarily blocked sun when they do a flyover.Sadly, googling "galls" seems like a very probable solution, but I'm not one to give in to reality. Butterflies they are!

This one in with agastache

Said garden and Oak Tree!

Your right, my one has a single spur on the back of each flower - definitely a nemesia Thanks everyone!

Hi @docjohn , they're Nerines. I bet you get a wonderful show from them.

It looks like Arbutus unedo, the strawberry tree. They prefer a slightly acid soil, and a bit of dampness.Due to the size of it I'd not worry too much at the moment, it might be a bit stressed by the heat and dryness right now.Natural leaf loss on evergreens does often happen at this time of...

To my knowledge Robinia pseudoacacia flowers are always white. If flowers are pink then it is another Robinia sp.Robinia pseudoacacia - Google SearchRobinia pseudoacacia - WikipediaRobinia pseudoacacia | false acacia/RHS Gardeninge.g. Robinia hispida has pink flowers.robinia hispida...

Thank you, yes that's it.

Thanks, this is so interesting! I will give it a go for sure, also considered that most berries have in the meanwhile disappeared (courtesy of the doves I suspect, they must have got tired of waiting for my grapes to mature..)

Agreed.....on the Towans behind me it grows beautifully, in particular an “avenue” of oenothera and blue vipers bugloss.

Thanks guys, at least my memory didn't let me down, it WAS a campanula!!! Just not like the campanula elsewhere in my garden, which is is purplish and covers the borders. I've not seen a giant one like this before. It will be a talking point for all my visitors. Case solved.
