            Better late than never,..this white geranium has only bloomed in the last few days where as all the others have started blooming over a month ago.

              Delphinium blooms are now gone but the red rose alongside the bare delphiniums likes the support of them to lean on.

              I spent two days digging up self seeded Foxgloves,..some were very big and were growing in containers where there was another plant,..some were on the pathways,..still not finished gathering them all up.

                So far,.. some of the Foxglove seedlings which i had to move,..more in pots which were left under the parent plant so seeds would fall in.

                All recovered from the move,..except for Droopy :),..hopefully it will perk up tomorrow,..if not i will cut off the droopy foliage and then it will recover.

                  Must be the heat,..my Musk Mallow 'Malva moschata' went brown,..then after a good downfall of rain they are suddenly in bloom again.

                  These Hydrangea were cuttings last summer and the only free spot was at the fence dividing next door.
