Its been some time since I posted pics of my garden...so here's an overview ;D

Verbascum "Twilight"....got this one last year from Grindle....I love the unusual colour and it doesn't get too tall

A dwarf/miniature alstromaria I've had for over 12years......name of "Sylvia"...

A lovely prostrate honeysuckle called "Little Honey".. ;D

Delphinium......don't know variety....but very striking!

A self seeded foxglove.....

Another shot of "Twilight"......think it's gorgeous

An overview of one of the borders....not a lot to see yet.....but promising

The heuchera's have been nice this year ;D

Acers and ferns..

Mixed border..

A bee enjoying himself!!

Lilies and Campanula

;D ;D

Maybe an edit to change the first lovely to a 'Verbascum'? You've got a lot of colour and your garden's looking great. I've never come across the Honeysuckle before - that's different!

I got a Lonicera involucrata shrub earlier this year to put in the place of a dead Euonymus lucidus - I'd never heard of that, either. It's amazing what you come across, isn't it.
