It looks really pretty Jill. It's amazing isn't it how some plants don't seem to mind the awful wet weather and seem to bloom despite our worst fears. Well done to you, it all looks great! :)

All we need now is a little bit more sun so we can actually enjoy our gardens, without wellies and brollies.
Lots of colour there :-))

Its looking really colourful Jill, well worth the long wait, I`m hoping they all last a very long time now with enough sunshine for all of us to relax and admire them all, I have to say that is one good thing about this years weather, the fact that our flowers once blooming are lasting longer for us.....That is with the exception of my roses, terrible year, very disappointing...

Thanks Lincslass! Monty said his roses were rubbish too on Gardeners World this week. Just too damp I guess. You are right about things lasting and I have a few plants that I thought were done for the year that are all in bud again! What a funny summer hey! Enjoy your blooms. x
