Night scented phlox, a heady scent for such a small flower Compassion rose Zinnia Astilbe Think it's St John's Wort but not sure  ???
Aster Petunia, this plant survived the entire winter in the greenhouse in it's basket, never died back and not a seeded plant
 Chrysanthemum Roxy The Staghorn Gypsophila about to flower Lastly the willow, that had another heavy pruning in spring, is back to it's lovely shape.

Aw, thank you all. Yes it did take a little time Rach, I went out about 11pm for the usual slug hunt then took the pictures.

Nice pictures..
Now, that's interesting. The one you call Himalayan Honeysuckle looks for all the world like something we call Flowering Nutmeg.
I wonder if they are one and the same....?

[Ninnyscrops.]

Yes one and the same, Nigel. Leycesteria formosa is it's proper name but also called Flowering nutmeg, Pheasant Berry and Himalayan nutmeg amongst other things  :)
