Lovely, although I think my Allium is bigger than yours!   ;D   :P  Just wondering what the feathery foliage plant is in front of the Allium in pic 3 - is it some fort of Asparagus fern?  It's very attractive.

It's Cosmos! Never grown them before, I agree that the foliage looks lovely, hopefully the flowers will be even better. (.. and as Jo said, you haven't any room for more!!!  ;D )

Oh Cosmos, of course silly me.  But what's this about me not having room?  Who started that rumour?  Is this a conspriacy to keep me out of the Swap Shop?  I demand to know!   ;D  ;)

Just beautiful GW I also like the way the grass path leads you on.
We shouldn't worry about G not having any more room in her garden. G knows I have offered her the loan of my garden should her garden get too overcrowded!! ;D ;D

Thats really very pretty Glosterwomble, I miss having flower beds as mine is mostly veg. I have made sure I got a few flowers this year though. Its nowhere near as gorgeous as yours ;)
I was born with nothing and have most of it left.

Wow! I'm very impressed, I like the wine glass holder, nice to see you have your priorities right! It looks immaculate, the same cannot be said of my back garden, too much time spent down the lottie....... ;)
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴
