Hi Ginnie, Great video and great music too (I used to be able to play the flute part of that). Oh and great path as well.

My pride & joy this year, with the exception of the poorly performing impulse buy from Wilkinson's lilys, the plants here survived over the winter or self seeded from last year, verbena, lobelia, pansies and a stunning fucshia - a delightful surpirse!!Those that have bothered to flower are unscented and not really the candy pink on the package!! These perfect little pansies, which just popped up this year having survived for the last two, unusual in a pot - make up for the lazy lily!! Can anyone identify this? The leaves are about the size of a pansy and the tiny white flower on the long stem only opens when the sun is on it - it crops up every year in the lee of the peony rose but it's not something I've ever planted - it's a mystery!!

The dreaded lily beetle is back .........why they were on the snake head fritillary, I don't know - it matters not, they are dead now - the beetles not the flowers.
RED DEVILS!!!!!

A lot of thought and work has gone into that garden Missus - and it's paid off, beautiful.
I love the cottage garden/wilderness feel of Sir Gin's garden too - fabulous ferns

This year's pride and joy........
Almost the last flower on the white dicentra, surely the most beautiful of petal arrangements
Self-seeded, clear across the garden, this little pink/white dicentra is a freebie, popped in a pot, for now.
This year's new plants, lipstick colours, geranium, pinks and fuschia - hot
Same, but in the group of pots, where they live
The biggest ever fuschia buds!!! Can't wait to see what colour the middle is - but it's cool, to balance the lipstick pinks/reds
Not the prettiest plant in the garden, pretty enough in pale, pale lilac, but I have this pot beside the back door and the same plant in a hanging basket and two other pots - it's night-scented stock and the perfume is heady and glorious!(any time now the scent will start drifting into the house)

What a perfectly lovely way for you two to spend time together - but take care - Minnie Ginnie could get lost in that grass and have to join the Fukawi tribe........ ;D

How those pots have come along!!!
With the Emperor Gong and mini windchime
Meanwhile, on the other side of the garden, ensuring the heady scent all around....
Self seeded pansies & a miniature petunia
Verbena and a semi trailing bronze foliage pink flowered something or other!! This and the pansies flank the pale lily pot.
