Beautiful. Pity they are biennial. When you save their seed, they don’t come up true to original colour. Still you get to enjoy them for one year.

Thank you both for your lovely comments. I rescued a bee this morning from the path. I let them crawl on my hand and put them on the flowers.

Ah good the leaves are similar to philadelphus aren't they but flowers are growing different so that's why I thought that, never had one myself, I was looking at my Gilenia the other day but the name just wouldn't come to me lol 😀 Ah that's a shame GOY is very good for keeping a record :-)

Ah thanks Karen, Kate, Sheila and Hb it does look a decent one doesnt it.
Hb I went not particularly looking for plants but my aunty asked me to look for some bedding plants and they had quite a few so ended up buying from there, good prices, the stores differ though don't they, you can drop lucky sometimes.

Thanks Hb it's a good doer and the bees seem to like it too, it looks a little sad when the flowers go over but can trim those back. I also have the taller Horatio another that's done well and looks lovely in full flower it's just starting to open up now :-)

Thank you Klahanie...with these strong daily winds we are having it is a way of saving them getting destroyed.

That was a good buy Shirley.

:-) I was watering around and forgot to roll the house back before taking picture Karen. Our summers are very dry so we have many houses around. But....you gave me an idea.

In Canada, Zebra finches are popular as pets (in cages) but not in wildlife.

I see some birds checking these but not sure if they actually use them Julia. We have some which are used regularly.

They are interesting birds. We love them and so do eagles so it is unusual to have so many around like this.

Karen,
I cannot grow hostas in the garden because deer loves them but slugs have not found way to our deck (yet) where I have several.
I planted several dahlias and unfortunately slugs love these as well .

Thank you Julia.

Very pretty. Do you get Zebra finches?

I’m intrigued! Looked them up. Lovely birds!

I agree. Do I see a new bed marked out with hose?

Hostas are so lovely when you keep those slimies off! I could so easily have thirty, but the heartbreak when they are ruined is too much!

That is a prize Hosta..magnificent

Wow Shirley, I didn’t know that. Thank you! It’s good to know that so many of us like Japanese gardens 🙂

They are enormous this year Klahanie! People walking by mistake them for roses!

I think mine have been too busy munching on my roses. My Buddleias look fine. Time yet though. The Aphids are so prolific this year!

Are many of them used Klahanie?

Thanks Eileen, I am so pleased that slugs don't like them! Looking out just now I saw 2 fat slugs slithering over the garden path ... they're munching the contents of the brown bin now!

Rose, you really didn't need to apologise as I loved viewing the plants in your garden. The Roses are looking so healthy.

My Buddleia is devastated by aphids this year, has never happened before. I will tell the RHS. However a family of blue tits have been making use of them which is something. I didn’t check to see if the aphids were different. Will go & see now.
