Andrewr ~ Could you please identify (under my comment here) the tall blue flowers near the path,and the tall white ones on the right. Many thanks.

They are veronicas - I think veronica longifolia. The white one was deliberately planted and the blue one a seedling from it (blue is the more usual colour)

OK, I've looked them up properly - veronica spicata var incana

Thanks, Andrewr.
Very interesting that the blue is a seedling of the white.
These are my two favourite colours of flower - blue and white.
Some time I might have a try with these :o)

Just found this Andrew...those Veronicas are very lovely...how tall would you say they grow?

About three feet tall (including the flower spikes). They do need support though

Lovely garden Andrew. What are the pink flowers called near to the path on the left bottom of the picture?

Sadna - it's a rose called 'Ballerina'. It grows to around four feet and is prolific with single type rose blooms. I found it rather prone to blackspot though.
