Just had a 'stroll' through your lovely garden Rosebud.  Absolutely beautiful :)

Delightful, esp the agapanthus and the baskets... is that Fuchsia really that dark in the centre? or is it a trick of the light?

Hi Saddad,  Rosebud has bronchitis at the moment so I thought I'd pop in and answer your question.  That fuchsia is indeed really that dark in the centre and doesn't get its colour from any kind of trickery or modification.  Lovely isn't it?  I'll let Rosebud know about all of the extra nice comments she's missed once she's well again  :)

[Gardengirl]

Please give Rosebud our love and wish her a speedy recovery  :-*

Hello Peeps, thank you so much for your nice comments.  It has been very hard work but we are getting there, slowly.
I feel a lot better now it has been a horrible 2 wks, but today is my best day. Lovely bouquet from our son, and i have watered some plants so i must be getting better ;D.  Saddad, that Fuschia is so beautifull it is unbelievable i like it so much, if i can do a cutting later would you like one?.  Rosebud. ;D

Love Lorna.

Cheers Mary, have just popped in for a tea break, I am bushed. Done all sorts in the garden today, making the most of the sunshine. Lorna is cooking the evening meal (thank goodness) Thought I had better get my butt inaction as I am out all day tomorrow. Going to have another hour out there and then call it a day.
Love Lorna,

Wow it looks gorgeous Rosebud.  Can I just ask, in the 6th pic, you've got some orange flowers on what looks like very broad blades of grass, I have them in my garden but no idea what they're called? Mine aren't in flower yet tho  :(

[rosebud]

Hi Posie, they are called MONTBRETIA,  THEY ARE VERY COLOURFULL BUT THEY SHOULD BE IN FLOWER NOW OR VERY VERY SOON, Oppppppps sorry uppercase. cheers Rosebud.

Thanks Rosebud. They normally flower about now, they're the only thing that will grow in that bit of garden!
