    tell you what's looking good!!:yay: All the buds forming on all the Camellias. Lots of new growth too in the last 6 weeks. They have loved this cool, damp Summer and should give us some fine blooms in 2013,

      Not East-facing are they? (I'm sure you know all about that, so just doing belt-&-braces check :) )

      In the front,cooler garden Kristen but it's quite sheltered. Having said that, I have piccies with 8" of snow on them. It'll be interesting to see if this soft growth hardens before the frosty nights start.

      :)

      But 'tis the sun on the morning frosty buds that does the damage, so best to have them on a west facing wall - as East facing will let them see the morning sun :(

      I understand Kristen, but I have no west facing walls that I can plant in. The back patio garden gets too hot for camellias in the Summer (well, usually) so I try to spoil them a bit to compensate.

                  Another walk in the garden today got me these pics:

                  White Japanese Anemones which seemed to have liked this peculiar weather.

                  [​IMG]

                  Butterflies and Buddleia

                  [​IMG]

                  Roses and Saponaria

                  [​IMG]

                  Pink Japanese Anemones also doing well

                  [​IMG]

                  The Clematis on the Trellis entrance are a bit of a mixture and some have only been planted this Spring, I keep adding to them, but they've made a good show through the Spring and Summer and Clematis "Tangutica" is the latest to make a showing.

                  [​IMG]

                  [​IMG]

                  While the garden side of the Trellis entrance is a mixture of Sweetpeas, Nasturtiums and Clematis.

                  And there's still plenty of colour in the borders.
