Looking good this week

Sun creating shadows on Melianthus major and Euphorbia rigida. Echinacea purpurea, Canna 'Tropicana' and the last of the Zinnia 'Early Wonder' to open.

Zinnia time!

These late starters are just coming into bloom. Salvia patens and Zinnia 'Early Wonder', not quite living up to it's name and only three plants flowering thanks to the snails and the poor weather this year!

Mina lobata

Blink and you'll miss it, but I have got it to flower!

From seed supplied by the RHS dispersal scheme.

Out this week

A purple Penstemon, the first Japanese anemone, Rubeckia, Heliotrope (my first time from seed this year - and what a scent!) and Miscanthus malepartus, much taller this year because of all the rain...all out this week
