Sweet Rocket.  I've got 3 pots of this and it smells devine.

Nectaroscorum.  One of the Alliums and the first time I've grown it.

Allium Purple Sensation.  Such an intense colour.

You're too modest, George. You call them 'snaps'...there's a couple in there that are worthy of a prize. Well photographed!

Ah Pye, but you only get to see the good bits.   ;)  And would you really want a garden that's only 9 feet wide?   ::)
