            The lily is stunning woo! :thumbsup:

            Today's delights ...

            ... The reduced price planted pot I bought for a fiver ..

            CIMG0056 (2).jpg

            and the stunning begonia within the pot

            CIMG0029 (2).jpg

            And this pretty flower too (not sure what it is though)

            CIMG0027 (2).jpg


            And from the reduced planted basket ... the pansies are still looking stunning ...

            CIMG0055 (2).jpg

            ... especially when the light shines through, adding drama to the colours and markings ...

              My "Loli" hosta is in flower now ...

              CIMG0020 (2).jpg

              ... and the Choisya "Aztec Pearl" is having a second try at flowering ...

              CIMG0070 (2).jpg

              ... the honeysuckle cutting, which I brought with me when I moved, is now showing off its first flower ...

              CIMG0043 (2).jpg

              Clematis "Arabella"

              CIMG0015 (2).jpg


              Fuchsia "Army Nurse"

              CIMG0075 (2).jpg

              A clematis I bought earlier this year is now opening its first flower (but I cannot remember the variety ) CIMG0034 (2).jpg

              And the jasmine has opened a second flower (and still smelling wonderful)

                    Thalictrum Elin, planted last year, has reached 11ft :rolleyespink: For a plant that grows so big the flowers are remarkably delicate.

                      Salvia microphylla "Royal Bumble"..............

                      Albuca spiralis and its interesting foliage................

                      [​IMG]

                      First flowers on Salvia "Black and Bloom". Not overly impressed so far - "Black and Blue" seems better IMO...............
                      [​IMG]

                      Salvia "Love and Wishes" on the other hand is proving to be an absolute star...............

                              Wow! The garden's looking good Anthony. :) Your Nicotiana put mine to shame as they've only just started to flower.
