Just a quick one..

Just a quickie as there are a to many for individual pics and it’s easier this way….

As it was my birthday a couple of days ago the girls decided to get me a present for the garden so off to the garden centre we went and they got me this… pennisetum glaucum purple majesty

Or Purple Millet, i love this,, they do know me well my girls…

This was the other one they got me… miscanthus sinensis strictus or Porcupine Grass

This is starting to open now, my Buddleja Sky Blue…. looks more purple to me :-)

My fav Honeysuckle is opening up to, Lonicera Belgica..

And a lovely little chirpy friend keeps me and the girls company in the garden…

That’s it for now, hope you all had a great weekend…

thanks For Looking….

Very belated birthday greetings from me too - can't keep up; recovering from illness. Great presents from the girls. I think that's the same honeysuckle as I have. It is lovely, isn't it? So nice to have birds in the garden.
