I love the garden as it changes every day
this combo of
Digitalis strawberry is so soft with the Nepeta sixhillsgiant and Phloemis tuberosas' delicate pink alongside an Iris which keeps on giving (I thought it was Chartreuse but not too sure now ) and euphorbia ascot rainbow to finish it off.
Colours made brighter by the drizzly weather.

I love it when the postie arrives with a package.
My online shopping looks a wee bit different from most people's

And the postie knows when it's for me .."LIVE PLANTS" emblazoned on the box 📦

Always beautifully wrapped too !

Now to decide where they go... I have an idea where to put them when I order but when they arrive some of them sit on the lawn for a few days awaiting a decision.
