Some of the plants flowering in my garden -


The ‘last hurrah’ for this Cytisus, its grown too big and is leaning against the rose on the arch, but its left me with lots of self-sets.

A small verbascum given to me by a gardening friend.


Sorry, I can’t remember the name of this pretty plant but I’m sure one of the GOY members can tell me.

I agree with Paul, according to the RHA Gardeners Enc. it looks like Melittis melissophylum or Bastard Balm. Not such a good common name! Mid-green leave with a height of approx. 30cm (12" in old money!) white flowers with purple lower lips.

Nice to see your garden. It's very pretty. The last flower is interesting.

Thank you for your comments, and Paul and Honey for the name of my plant.

Lovely garden, and yes, the last plant is very pretty. My first thought was a Salvia, but what do I know?!
