I love the first picture especially, Lorna.  I recognise the Borage but what's the other flower growing with it?

Hi georgie. It is Potentilla nepalensis Miss Wilmott (so the label says :)) I planted it 2 years ago then cut it right back last Autumn. It has come back stronger than ever and spreads over quite a large area of the border, it is quite pretty. Hardy perinial

Thanks Lorna.  I tried that once (different variety) but sadly the slugs got it.   >:(  Might look out for another one because I think both the foliage and the flowers are very pretty indeed.

Georgie. I just popped round to Lorna's for an evening meal and noticed she has a Potentilla, just can't remember the variety but hers has a pretty yellow flower. I might try one.

Lish.I left those buckets near back porch and you didn't even notice them when you came, From Co-op but mine cost 10p each!!

Ah yes, I know Shirl, and they are also easily devoured here by the ruddy slugs and snails.   :(  But Lorna, if you have any spare seeds of the yellow one I'd be interested please.  :)
