Here are some of my current blooms from around my garden; Cistus, Hydrangea and Mallows, all pink Smile

@LittleMy123 Thank you for that advice. It's called 'Harlow Carr'

Look what bulbs I bought Grin

Your flowers are beautiful Star

@AnneKipanki I loved the picture of new bloom, please don't resist more often Grin
I use RHS website to create the list of plants I have in my garden and the list of plants I want to have and Gertrude Jekyll has been added Grin
I've read about Harlow Carr this morning @AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet and that's another one that I've added to my list because of it's smell- it says that it's got 'old rose' fragrance Smile and according to RHS website your rose will love full sun Grin
Your aliums will look amazing Grin I have to focus on getting more bulbs rather than roses Grin I went to Homebase last week and they have a good deals if it comes to bulbs, huge packs of bulbs for only £5! And they had Aliums too- 75 bulbs for £10 Smile

Thanks again @LittleMy123 Smile
I've been out in the garden this morning moving it around and seeing where it's catching sun and where I can see it from various windows from inside my house 🙈Blush I just love it so much. It's a shame it's almost September already Sad
A list is a good idea. I saw another beautiful one I was googling them all night called 'Princess Alexandra' Shock
and yours is really beautiful too @AnneKipanki

I always forget about places like Homebase for bulbs, great idea Smile

Gertrude Jekyll is an excellent rose. I'll get photos of some of mine when they do their last display.

Had a look round the garden, these are all David Austin, but no idea what they are called as the labels are long gone.

We were given a boat a few weeks ago for our pond. Transpired it needed a lot of work to get it fit to be on the water, probably more than buying a functioning boat would cost. So I snatched it from DH's clutches, painted it and well....this is the result.
It needed a name, so I called it 'Orion' after a Metallica song.

I'm totally blown away by this thread. You're all so talented! I'd love a nice garden but I've absolutely no idea where to even start.

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 05/09/2019 20:27

@MacavityTheDentistsCat, I am still a novice gardener. I'm googling learning as I go along. In fact, I've made so many errors in the garden, over the years.

You should describe your space, or post a picture, and maybe we can help Smile

Mmmm... never heard of a balloon flower... think Im falling in love with your garden LittleMy123....

What does your balloon flower like? And how long does it flower? How long to grow?

AnneKipanki · 06/09/2019 07:42

Apologies for the rubbish picture. My phone had slipped out of position.

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 06/09/2019 09:56

YAY, it's working again @AnneKipanki

Is that the Gertrude Jekyll rose? It is sooo beautiful Smile

OP posts:
AnneKipanki · 06/09/2019 10:08

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 06/09/2019 12:12

That's so typical!
It might surprise you again. I've had a white rose appear today, it wasn't there yesterday.

And yes, I check them every day Grin
