    Vanilla tagetes is a nice surprise with its huge round flowers:

    And please see who's complementing my double-flowered ipomoea - my newly cultivated Ipomoea 'Alba'.

    It's as big as a clematis!

        Great colour and blooms. :dbgrtmb:

        These two have flowered in the last 24 hours. They'll probably get battered by the heavy rain.

                  This little hardy Geranium "Buxtons variety" is covering 2/3rds of the path to the front door now. I know it's a menace but I can't bring myself to get the shears to it! Niger seed feeder and others 27 August 2012 009.JPG

                    It's gotta be done! It'll just come back stronger anyway:)

                    My first, and probably only, Morning Glory of the year. It's "Heavenly Blue"...............

                      Probably Simbad, but I have just sunk the pot and will lift it and store in the shed this winter just in case. Next year I'll divide it and leave one out..............

                      It is under the willow which seems to suit it................

                          Its a cracker :)

                          I need to get off my butt and order the dozen passion flowers that I fancy from that bloke on the continent ... I have one nice one I bought this year (Incense I think) and it looks SO much more interesting than the bog standard ones I have been growing until now ...
