Not much happening here… roses look set to bloom again 🙏
Definitely a touch of autumn in the air… blackberries and anemones Smile

Still feels like summer here- but these will last into the autumn I suppose

Love the slightly autumnal pics

Here I have dahlias, roses and Hollyhocks in bloom

Beautiful @applecatchers36

beautyisfoundwithin · 14/08/2021 13:19

Gorgeous photos! I'm envious of all of the beautiful Roses as always 😁

Great photo of the bee 🐝 @BadlydoneHelen!

Loving the Dahlias too, I've had none at all this year, think the slugs well and truly destroyed them all sadly.

So many bright colourful blooms on your Fuchsia @notsogreenthumb!

No autumn in the air here yet, finally some summer sunshine after a very rainy summer. I've got Sunflowers blooming, managed to catch a butterfly and a bee in one, and my plan to grow Sweet Peas up Sunflowers actually worked! (I tend the have lots of grand plans that don't always work out!).

Also sharing a new Cosmos I tried this year that I'm quite pleased with.

Great photos @beautyisfoundwithin.

I discovered gardening this year and am hooked. It's so lovely to see all the pictures and giving me ideas what to grow next year.
I have a mandaville which I got from tesco for £12 and these are two of my ten clematis which are doing well.

They are 👍🏻@kerkyra

Lovely @kerkyra! Glad to hear you're hooked like the rest of us! Love your outdoor mirror too!

I've had an explosion of Lilies here, so bright and cheerful!

@beautyisfoundwithin your lillies are beautiful! I picked up a Lily the other day on the shelf of death so I'm hoping for some results after it's had a bit of tlc

beautyisfoundwithin · 16/08/2021 17:42

Fingers crossed for you @ImprobablePuffin. They come back every year too!

WobblyLondoner · 17/08/2021 12:52

So many lovely photos since I last checked in. Those lilies! And I love the echinacea - gorgeous colours.

For once I can post a photo, so here are two from me. The first is my new favourite, persicaria - helped I think by how wet it's been in London.

And this thing of wonder is the wildflower area in Edinburgh botanic garden a few weeks ago. Amazing.

@ImprobablePuffin Prompted by your picture I've just looked at the creeping Jenny I planted a few years ago as ground cover. It is certainly the spreader ....

applecatchers36 · 19/08/2021 08:47

Wow what an explosion of Lillie's Beauty gorgeous!

Your clematis seem to be very happy Kerkyra

Great wild flowers Wobbly good spot thanks for sharing

Mine is settling in well in its cage. And in its cage it shall remain 😂

ImprobablePuffin · 19/08/2021 21:41

My update is that Strawberry Hill is coming along nicely and I bought this hebe from the shelf of death that is a little bee magnet!

@beautyisfoundwithin those lilies are magnificent! I now mourn the death of mine even more (slugs) 😂!

Stunning pictures from everyone. I love that everything is in full bloom now

@ImprobablePuffin those are so beautiful 😍

notsogreenthumb · 20/08/2021 11:37

Because I have issues I've bought some more flowers 😬🙊

I'll have to go out and snap some pictures of them later. Here is one of them and a bee and red admiral

The anemones have arrived... I do love the simplicity of the flower, and the thick cut petals as they are emerging from their buds. But the pale pink one is a bit of a thug and I need to contain it a bit more than I have done in the past.

It feels autumnal here in London. As well as soggy...

Beautiful anemones. I miss these I had lots in my old garden. Our agapanthas have completely taken over this year, I need to divide them and put some in pots but they are lovely at the moment and the house is full of them.

WobblyLondoner · 22/08/2021 08:31

Those are lovely agapanthus @Pokhora. I'm about to plant up a sunny area in my front garden and have been thinking of planting one of the dwarf ones - liliput I think it's called.
