The weather this year has suited the plants they all seem to be flowering at their very best

A large white Lychnis seeded itself among the Shasta Daisies

The end of the border that was only planted last summer

Hypericum glowing on the bank at the back!

Spirea full of white blooms aptly named Bridal Wreath

Just Joey Rose amid the the Johnson Blue Geranium

Fuschia by the front door overwintered well and is flowering better than ever I don’t know it’s name though

Kalmia or Calico Bush has improved this year too lots of Iced gem type flowers, this is just the bottom branch!

Sambuccas was cut back by a third last year which obviously did it no harm at all!

After trying to grow white Foxgloves from seed for a while now this year I have 3 plants in different parts of the garden this one has the prettiest markings – and a visitor!

Just a quick look at a few plants in my garden at the beginning of July.

Lovely photos Neelan, I really like the mixed colours in the first one, and Kalmia is new to me is it bone hardy and would it survive in a pot do you think?

Thank you Bloomer pleased you like my flowers, the Sambuccus never disappoints the white foxgloves were a nice surprise though :o)

Thank you Pam the bed in the first picure was only planted last year and some have seeded themselves around so it is a bit of mix but suits here, my Kalmia is in a pot of eracious soil so no problem :o)

Thank you Holly a good year :o)

I wanted to save your kalmia photo and tapped my screen, it downloaded and saved it in my gallery , all so easy which is good for flowers but worrying for any photo you Don't want spreading around, like photos of the family or house......
