Looking fab Georgie! 

I want an alchemilla mollis. I love the way water droplets catch in it's foliage.

Thank you everyone.  SuperSprout has nicknamed my garden 'the Tardis'.  Says it all I think!  :D

Georgie, your pictures are beautiful but make me very sad indeed.   :'(  I revisited the garden in my old bungalow and the Salix looks divine !  As are the other plants but .... they seem to have been left to their own devices as no-one there to water and tend to them  :'(  I hope they do not die ....

thanks for sharing your garden with us.  ;D
Enjoy today to the full.  You are not sure of a tomorrow.

Hi Marianne, nice to see you back again. Sorry to hear that your old garden is being neglected.   >:(  How's 'life on the ocean waves'?   ;)

Trouble is, you never just have 'one' of them - I must have put about a dozen alchemilla mollis on the compost heap this week  >:(

Great pictures.

That's one advantage of growing in pots, though, self-seeding is much less of an issue.  That said, I've been pulling aquilegia like weeds this year.   ::)

Thanks Stuffed.  Everything on the right hand side is in pots.
