        This time, not beauty but progress is interesting. The recent rain and having space makes some if not all plants very happy.

        The Campanula pers. alba has decided to flower again.

        I moved the Primula from a place behind the greenhouse to a prepared soil near the apple tree and it seems to like it.

        This is the only Salvia April Night cutting that survived. It seems to grow,

        The Phacelia grows well, but it's just an experiment how it works and if insects will use it if it gets flowers ... if ...

        My Linaria Canon went has germinated. Hopefully it will grow still a bit. But the garden starts now to be covered in shade in noon time.

          Am envious of your campanula alba. :blue thumb: Although the purple one thrives here, every time I get a white one, it only lasts one season and just refuses to flourish, never mind seed about like its relative.

            No need to be envious @ViewAhead. It’s just that 1 flower stem with currently 1 flower :biggrin:

                    Still lots of good colour there @AnniD! What is the plant with the bright red foliage on the right in your first photo please?

                        It's a Nandina @Plantminded :). If memory serves me right, it's "Obsession", it's planted in a large pot.

                          Thank you @AnniD, I thought it might be that. I have a lime green one in a pot which is doing well but it’s not as impressive as Obsession :).

                              That Begonia @strongylodon , you sent me a few tubers many years ago, it now comes up all over the place, but its never a problem, this one fills an untidy corner every year.

                              Difficult to get my camera to focus on the actual blue flowers of Fascicularia bicolor, they are tiny.
