Canassia, hardy geranium, Solomon's seal and giant rhubarb, all taken yesterday before the thunder closed in.

your camassia looks fantastic Robert :D, mine has flopped over and produce very few flowers, perhaps it's getting too much shade where it is.

I don't know whether it's being by a stream or what, but the camassias go from strength to strength. I think they probably like sun, but I haven't checked.

It's a shambles actually. Loads of weeds and very badly laid out. It does get better though, slowly.

Robert,
I love the blue geranium. I have a couple of the pink one's (think they are called phaem's?) but never seen a blue one  :)

I can't even remember what species it is, but I do remember that it came from the local Tesco's just after I got the plot, so it can't be anything rare.
