Mine were bare root plants which I bought last year, so I guess I was quite lucky to get any flowers at all.

I like lupins ....but when I tried to grow them they were covered in green and black fly !!!

I'm going to get some really nice pots once the patio is done .....some pottery ones 

Good tip about using sharp sand on slippery paths

That's a good tip about the paths

Lilies look pretty but I'm not keen on the scent

No, although the ones in all my arrangements are none smelly

I read that as Calla lilies 

Thanks for the company Baz, that was a nice, relaxing hour.

You took the words out of my mouth  Thanks Yogi 

I've just seen a RED ADMIRAL In our garden !!

First of the season.

Settled on our hydrangea

 I haven't seen any Red Admirals this year, just lots of whites.

Seen a few whites this year - more than last year, however.

I've had to use insecticides on my roses this year as they nearly died last year - they look amazing but may have deterred some 'nicer' insects coming into the garden.

I've not seen many butterflies at all this year

Something has been eating the foliage on my roses so I might need to use something on them next year.
