    Well, it's a little breezy, but it's dry and warm so I'm going for an amble around the garden and if you've got the inclination you can have an amble around with me.

    The central path not quite disappeared......but give it to July:heehee:

    The bottom end of the walk around bordere with Eryngium, several Paeonias, perennial poppies, Allium, Viburnum, and a whole lot more:heehee:

    There is a path there to the Green House, honest!!

    Perennial Poppy" Popeye"

    I've put a few Foxgloves into the borders and the Bees are liking them.

    [​IMG]

    The Geums, both red and yellow, have really done well this year.

    The East side of the Trellis entrance where the Clematis are doing very well and almost in flower.

    I need to sort out this border and give it more of a ordered look, but it is full of young plants........so maybe next year

    That Red Campion has got to go!!

    Underneath the Lilac "Madame Lemoine"

    The large clump to the right is Phlox which have really liked this weather.

    Rose Regensburg doing well despite the other plants attempting to take over.

    Have a sit down.:snork:

      What a lovely amble with you Big A. It's lovely and lush and I just love the Poppies but they are just finishing up here and seeding in the wild ... but I have been collecting seed to sprinkle down our hillside at the river for next year.

      Thank you for sharing with us. :cat-kittyandsmiley:

          It's looking lovely as always Armandii. :) Question......You quite often speak of your borders, do they really exist in your garden? :biggrin:

              Thank you, Victoria, I'm glad you like it. The red perennial poppies seem to come out all of a sudden with the White ones coming out first but lasting the longest. My favourite is still "Patty's Plum though.:snork:

              Bit cheeky, but any chance of getting some Poppy seeds from you ... you can ask for any exchange from here ... :love30:

              PS I'm not that big but I don't fit in a Jiffy bag ... :heehee:

                That would be a good swap!!:heehee:

                Every chance, Victoria, any particular variety???......"Checkers" [White], "Royal Wedding" [White], Tiffany [Pink}, Popeye {Red], Patty's Plum [Metallic Wine Red], this unnamed one
                [​IMG]

                and several unnamed reds. I think the best idea would be to send the seed heads to you and then you can shake out what you want.:snork:

                    Thank you, Honeybunny, it does bring a smile to my face when I sitting somewhere in it with a mug of tea or glass of wine.:snork:
