Lovely flowers, love the Astilbe. Probably because I haven't got one of those yet ! And you have spelt Heuchera ok.

Oh cool! lol At last it flowers! I thought it had died this year but with a wee bit Miracle grow and a severe talking to it has flourished lol. :)

Lovely pixi, every time i see a pic of roses, I can smell them, yours are gorgeous, your Loves kno,t its beautifull,they look like velvet. I too have grown cosmos from seed for the first time, and im not sure, I dont know why tho! Maybe its the foliage, its dominating the border...
Your wee cherub is gorgeous, and a bargain :)))

Thanks Daisy..yes the Cosmos jsut isnt me or something lol..jsut takes over really..and I'm not that keen on them at all. yes Love's Knot is the best at flowering! Pity it doesn't have a scent..you would think to look at it it would..oh well can't have everything I guess lol.
The cherub I love it..lol tho not usually too keen on things like that I dont mind it lurking under the jasmine..wait till you see my life sized sculpture..watch this space! ;)
Thanks Lil :)

all your plants look really healthy,Pixi..The Astilbe is pretty..I love Cosmos,probably because I need something to fill gaps between the other stuff..but I like the foliage and the flower..good job we all like different,as we would all have the same gardens ! :o)

25 Jul, 2011

THanks Paul..I do try..dont always get it right tho..I need to move that bright red begonia soon! Its hurting my eyes down the bottom garden..just doesnt go! It will get put out the front door or something..I'm not even really that keen on them but it was only 50p! lol silly me:))))

wonderful roses Pix.

26 Jul, 2011

 

Thanks Lulu! I love them! Jaggy beasties tho! I'm all scratched tying one back the other day lol :)

How do you manage to achieve that wonderful Campanula? I love it! ..... There are dwarf varieties of Cosmos, grow to about 2ft. tall and don't dominate as much as the usual taller ones. : o )

26 Jul, 2011

 

I've no idea SHirley! lol Just lucky! I grew it from seed a few years back and its been moved three times!
Well I'm still not gonna grow any more Cosmos I jsut dont really like them. :)

26 Jul, 2011

 

Perhaps I should move mine around ... obviously Campanulas enjoy the move! I only have a few Cosmos now as, last year, I ended up with 4ft. tall ones with masses of foliage and just a few flowers. .... : o ((

26 Jul, 2011

 

yeah mine have lots of foliage not many flowers :(

26 Jul, 2011
