      @glengarry23 Apart from where we have planted specimen doubles, which seem to be gradually disappearing or reverting :scratch:, we have the singles spreading like mad in some of our 'wild' areas. We dig out some of them and sell them for our charity.

      I've just grabbed a few not very good shots from different areas :noidea:

          @shiney ,..Wow that looks fantastic,..its a huge spread,..its always said under a tree and dappled sun suits them and you certainly have that,..it would take me a very long time before i could have a display like yours,..well done and great that you sell off some for charity.

            @Victoria ,..thank you,..it looks very good when the roses are in full bloom but a terror to do dead heading,..i have to wear goggles as the cut off pieces fall right on top of me.

              'Whisper',..in her nightly position in front of the wood burner,..its beyond me how she can get so close to the fire and be comfortable.

              Luckily 'Whisper' wasn't around during the day as a 'Blue Tit' flew against the window then fell into a flower pot,..it remained stunned there for approx 6 mins,..before jumping on to another flower pot,..thankfully it wasn't injured. as it flew away.

                Yes, cats always get "too close for comfort" to fires, in their human's opinion anyway! :heehee: :cat-kittyandsmiley:

                            Every day the Female Blackbird in the image below appears at my door,..draws my attention for its daily feed,..she loves 'Dried Mealworms',..but when i don't have any she will settle for Sunflower Seeds,..she was born during last Summer 2019,..very shortly she will turn completely black and that Thrush Like appearance will be gone.

                            Around June and July its only possible for one person to walk the paths in the garden and even then one must walk sideways most of the time,..however its interesting as there are several Mint Species along the way so one gets the scent of those when they are brushed against.

                            The video below is during that time when even seeing the paths can be difficult.

                            Music By 'Ernesto Cortazar',..Piano,..Grande-Ay Amor Ya No Me-Quiertas Tanto-Contigo El Dia.

                                It's what I call a "tactile" garden, Phillip, just like mine where as you walk along the narrow paths you get brushed by foliage.:love30::thumbsup:
