A small view of some plants in my garden,

 With this hot weather, flowers that were in bud have flowered, so my lupins are glorious..grown from seed two years ago and they are now multi-blooms.


 My latest rose.. 'Tottering by Gently,' a shrub rose with pale yellow single blooms. I absolutely love it. It's planted on the edge of the patio, I can see it up close when I sit out there.



And a moderately scented rose, 'Scarborough Fair,'  bought for the front garden in a corner, and it failed.. Or rather I flailed it and planted in the wrong place, so dug it up last Autumn and planted here and it really likes it!


Some 'Love in the Mist' seeds scattered here and they are gorgeous. I'll have them for ever now, as they self seed prolifically, well all over the place really whether you want them or not!

This rose name lost, is the Grand daughter of a rose given to me by my daughter for Mother's Day about 20 years ago.. Dh took 4 cuttings, which we grew in Suffolk, then cuttings from one of those for here. It has a lovely Turkish Delight scent. I watch it for green flies and any other bugs, its a very precious rose!


I love my garden.

Hi Chris. I have Scarborough Fair - sent to me by a dear friend after Keith had died. It is planted by my patio set so I can enjoy it whenever I relax out there. Your garden is looking lovely.

You have some lovely healthy plants Chris. I love the "Tottering by Gently" name. I love lupins but they have always failed in my garden ☹

It is a beautiful garden.
I never have any luck with lupins. Maybe it's the wrong kind of soil? xx

Absolutely beautiful, Chris. Roses are only slightly budding here now. Peonies are in bloom and iris are about finished. Still cold nights and way too much rain.

Lovely outlook, Chris. I've never managed to grow lupins, but I'm not a proper gardener, anyway. 😯

I always enjoy seeing what others have in their gardens.
