@BigC The first pic is a Pachysandra used mainly for ground cover in shaded areas.
Blue flower a Campanula maybe portenschlagiana but unsure exact variety
Pink one looks like a bedding verbena judging the seed heads / leaves
Dunno abut the tree over pond, probably a Juniper of some find.
daisy looks like a margarita but I call most white daisy margarita
Last pic not the clearest but looks like Alp Cornus controversa

I took some pictures the other day of the lupins progress to show BigC how much progress a lupin can make in a short amount of time but Storm Hector the B****** flattened it . But for a few missing / bent flower heads / leaning plant most of come through OK.

No didn't have any rain, might on Saturday.
Why look so sad! I would love to smile if I had rain on Saturday!
@Perki Those lupins are beautiful. Shame the storm had other idea! I think I remember that episode about clematis by this man called Richard. I'd love to have Clematis Monty and @johnny canoe 's pink macropelata. The latter is so pretty. I think I saw my first Diana today! Can't wait to see my echinacea. They are showing buds. Things seem to go so slowly.
@Logan I will do that - the incessant rains have left several bald patches and the ants haven't helped.
Perki Those roses are very pretty. I think I should forget about irises and plant some more roses.

Them roses come at a cost ££££ all of the them are David Austin Bush roses but for the light pink / white which is a climber. £22 now DA roses they are long livid so in my opinion worth the extra layout.

Morning all
Ooops! i must go to that nursery to pick up some then. They are reduced to £9.99 and there are about 15 of them there. I went there and saw Blueberry Sunshine Blue reduced to £7.99 and I held out and then got one for £3.99. Somewhere else the Pink Lady Blueberries were also reduced, but I think I will try the taste of the ones I have now just in case I don't like it.
Lovely roses, @Perki ! I actually like the pink one! Very well formed and pretty colour. Been watering for half an hour and it has been a bit warm and humid already!

I don't think that it's going to be enough.
But I have zilch! I am dreading it. One more butt gone!

Yes the tree over the pond is Juniperus Sabina tamariscifolia
The spanish juniper. Is a old favourite. The horizontal branches bear feathery foliage which is greyish green when young. When mature it's about 10 ft across.
Got it in my tree and shrub expert book.
Been to Hyde Hall and posted some photos in

Here is the rest:
The rose garden with pillar showcasing fragrant lovely roses. Late in the year, they will play host to clematises. What a brilliant idea!
The new greenhouse
I need to give a special mention about these roses - it is fragrant and thornless and very big as well. Amazing!
Wonderful conifer with its cones .. Wish I had a tree like that!
Rain chains are very a la mode!
