The sun catches the Fatsia leaves in what is the shadiest corner of the garden

I'm training the Passiflora on wires to create a pergola effect

This is an 'accident' but I like the combination of Briza maxima growing through the black Elder

Greek Cress gone to seed - it looks like a mini version of Eucalyptus

A bee enjoys the second lot of Sage flowers this year

This Mustard is much loved by a variety of insects

One of my baby Cucumbers - they are so slow this year

Thanks Maggie.   :)  My Buddleia usually blooms in late June.  I prune it back really hard in March and, as it's on dwarf stock (allegedly), I pinch it out quite often too.  I have no idea what's happened this year as the stems are over 10 feet high!   :o It looks ruddy ridiculous really but I haven't the heart to cut it back again until the first flowers have finished.   ::)  ;D

Just lovely Georgie. Are you sure you don't touch up the pics before posting? ;D The leaves look so perfect on all the plants (not a bit of slug damage to be seen).
I am just jealous, they really are super plants.
