Thanks! I did see that plant last year in October and it’s lovely.
On question - I saw this ?
I’m hoping so Shirley, but keeping eucalyptus alive in pots is a challenge. You’re supposed to use airports.

I agree. I was so pleased to see some sweet rocket appear from last year's planting.

Yes the scent of this rose is gorgeous (I only know it from a friend's garden). We just have one deep pink 'magic carpet' rose, so I don't have a favourite for scent.

Good idea Chris.
I enjoy the 8pm programme and was entertained by the lovely Japanese chap who gets so excited about winning. His Best Garden was perfect, and I also very much like the Avenade Garden (as a fan of Tom Massey!).

Thanks Penny. I quite like it but have acquired 3 clumps, so it evidently seeds itself proficiently! I expect I'll donate one of them to a gardening friend.

Looking forward to viewing that ... :o)

I bought several different types this year, so later I will do a blog showing them all off.

I bought a salvia nemorosa at Nyman's Gardens this year and it certainly looks very similar. I agree it isn't exactly spectacular but I was told it is excellent for bees. It is just opening the florets now so I'm hoping it might look prettier in a few days time!

Thanks Chris, the supermarket have a pale lilac one for sale now, I'm sorely tempted to buy one!

They definitely are not for my size of garden!

Thanks Sheila, it's so easy to propagate from cuttings too.
The Bees like it, I am trying to plant pollinator friendly plants now and it seems to be working!

Hi Chris, I agree with you about Jo Thompsons garden..
It was very relaxed and romantic.Wonder if she will be tempted to do another one next year.At least the theme
is colour this year.I do enjoy watching it at both times.

We are waiting for a new one to be put up because our old one was wrecked by the winter gales.

Hi Klahanie and Seaburngirl.
Thankyou both so much for your response and Klahanie on the other side of the pond, in Canada ,I think your assumption is absolutely right , Tradiscantia. I have checked many pics , could not find the deep purple but leaf formation and petal lay out is right. Seaburn girl , hallo again after a few years away from GYO , if it is a weed , I like it.
Thanks both much appreciated , I hope to be back reading all these lovely letters again.
On question - Name this flower from description
I grew it during my everlasting flowers phase. The stems are too short and thin to work as an everlasting unless you glue them to a tree stem.
On question - I saw this ?
No adverts for me on my iPad since you advised installing the free Adblock plus app. I do hope Brian gets this and we can enjoy his company and his lovely garden again. He has gifted me so many plants and seeds over the years.
