Lots of dales! The photos are stunning. You do live in a lovely part of the world.<br />I love waiting to see what surprises choose to grow. Sadly the garden in this house appears to have been neglected for a long time and the only thing that pops up year after year are random fig trees from seeds "deposited" by birds.sparklingmerlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600695778999486566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-64097428647446485002022-07-26T16:47:34.725-07:002022-07-26T16:47:34.725-07:00I love it when plants randomly pop up.

I'd plant and they would come up but no blooms, so I would move them thinking that they just didn't like the situation where I had placed them, but no luck. Finally I decided that those were just something that I wasn't supposed to grow and ignored all those luscious pics in the flower catalogs. But this spring a bag full of corms or bulbs, whichever they are, were on sale and I took the bait, planted them and voila up they came. What made the difference? Who knows. The hummingbirds have enjoyed them as the flowers opened up along the tip of the stalk. So pretty and graceful looking. I'm hoping that they reseed since I would love to have a large clump of them next year.vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-74698405190514667392022-07-26T15:00:23.886-07:002022-07-26T15:00:23.886-07:00Brilliant score - well done to the Lionesses.

Looks good in a long, tall vase, including some of the leaves, and lasts well. We had enough rain in West Wales to half drown on Saturday and Sunday,but we did need it. It was enough to fill the water butts by the greenhouse.

Despite all the digging and manuring that I've done to the borders, cracks are appearing throughout them as the ground dries out.

I loved playing with the fallen blossoms as a child and knew them then as 'snap dragons'.<br />Plenty of clouds but no rain today and the forecast is mainly dry for the southwest during August. Not good news for farmers, growers and gardeners.<br />I had a lovely nap after lunch but have perked up now that clouds have parted and I can see a large patch of blue sky. So much more comfortable.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.com
