          A lovely view Upsy. I got the Photinia so there is some leaf colour ... other than green! Your garden is coming along quickly now. :dbgrtmb:

                    @pete You can probably just see it peeking up on the bottom of the other photo, but the Plectranthus "Mona Lavender" has survived but in this position where it only gets a few hours of direct sun ... and it has bloomed twice. We are really pleased with it and hope it fills this pot.

                    I still have a couple of the Pelargoniums alive ... will try to remember to photograph tomorrow. ;)

                          He promised me one, but it never came :sad:, or the Gelsemium. The Acnistus are doing well, though, @pete Merci beaucoup :)
