You did well here Julia.

I got this allium for hummingbirds Julia . They love it.
Interesting plant. Your iris is lovely.

How wonderful to have Hummingbirds ... :o)

Will you be able to keep them smaller in pots?

Karen, are they filling their garden with plants yet?

Sheila, might it be Salvia nemorosa 'Sallyrosa Jumbo Pink'? Have a look at images on-line.

Sheila, it's a lovely plant, named correctly or not. Enjoy it!

Sbg, I know what you talk about. There are so many plants I cannot grow because of our acidic clay soil or heavy rains in the winter and many other reasons. So I am also envious about some plants you girls grow. We do have to adjust don't we ?.

Thank you Julia for your kind comment.

It's a very prolific one here Klahanie. I have 4 dependables and a couple of tempremental ones.

Thank you Julia, I am not very good at growing clematis.
You would not believe how many I bought and how little I have. The only one which grows well here is a Montana

Our hummingbirds would be happy at your place Shirley.
They love this plant. I like it too.

What a beautiful place to re charge and have a break xx

I’ve just looked up Plant world Lemon and think you must be right Shirley. Probably because it was bought a year ago I couldn’t remember the name, but nothing else pops up on Google!

Yes, I’m the same Karen, I’ve learnt to ignore them.

Thanks Eileen, that’s what my gardening friend thought today, but if I give it away it would be really good to know which variety!

Karen, don't even think of moving to where the soil is Alkaline ! :o))

lovely pair of villages. been through them both many times.

I am so envious.
I have a very chalky soil and cant grow them. I will not waste money on trying to modify the soil.

certainly looks salvia -ish.

does it 'rub off' looks like fungal growth.

it was on last week and Google translate identified it.
the profile also says Vietnam ;)

the leaves are not stalked as such though.

only a weed if you dont want it!

dont think it is euphorbia.
Wylie's id may well be correct. I dont grow this plant.

underwatering considering how dry the spring has been.
a bucket full a day/every other day until the weather produces rain.

they will perk up.

I have to tolerate them on the iPad. You do get used to them after a while.

Thanks Shirley. I thought so too.

They don’t do very well in this soil though Shirley. I think they prefer an Alkaline soil, which I have never had.

It is so soft and light Shirley. Makes quite a big tree though in the ground.

Thank you so much Shirley. I really love it and am forever bringing my new neighbours in for a peep!

Lovely together.

Karen, I rarely order anything on-line so haven't had this problem!

Fabulous!

I would not have known this as a Eucalyptus at all!

That's just what I thought too!

This is so pretty.

Brighton Plants is new to me, Andrew, it's not too far either! Well done on finding this.

Karen, such a great set of photos. You have really put your stamp on this garden, well done!

How wonderful ... I hope you post a photo when it's 'In the pink!'.

David, I had only just joined GoY back in 2010 and was struggling to get to grips with a computer, hence I missed your blogs.

Thanks Josie.

Maybe a Salvia, but not sure which one?

Good to see you Brian! (Sorry Kate!)

Squirrels Rose?

Thank you so much Julia. No flowers yet but now I remember there was a Perovskia about there, but not so bushy, so you’re right!

Rose, that's because Google has “improved” Chrome to ensure you don't miss any advert experiences. [Sarc]

I bought large alium bulbs , put them in big plant pots and no sign of them! When I emptied the pot, nothing there!
I don't know what happened to them.

Adblock doesn't work on my chrome book so have to put up with them!

How lovely Lindak.

Kate, I have received a lovely PM from Brian. Lovely to hear from him.
