Some beautiful rhodies flowering just now




I could spend all day in the garden , it is such a lovely time of the year, rhododendrons very good this year with many flowers, perhaps they are staring to mature as most have been in place for three to four years.

Parcel of plants delivered


Very exciting this morning when the courier delivered a parcel of 18 daylilies for me to find homes for.
Was surfing the net one night when unable to sleep and found a mail order nursery who grow daylilies and clivias further north from here, and on impulse ordered some. Have grown one or two before, but have got interested after seeing a lot on garden blogs I visit regularly.
Planted out a big pot yesterday morning after seeing a photo in a garden magazine, sunflowers and purple basil, hope it looks as good as the photo!
