oooohhhh! luscious EJ!
what is the yellow daisy like flower please??  

[Mrs Ava]

It is an Inula Kerry.  Not sure if it is Inula magnifica or Inula Royleana, but whatever it is, it is great.  There was a huge clump at our previous cottage by the greenhouse, and when we moved I couldn't stand to leave it behind, so out came a lump, and now it is in my new garden and in my gramps garden in Devon.  Seems to be good and tough and is like a ray of sunshine year after year after year after year...............

Ooooh lovely Emma :D  Seems to be a good year for crocosmia, mine is looking good as well.  I will have to thin it out this year so will have some to spare.  Will have to post on 'Swaps'.
