    Philip your garden is just bursting with colour. Mine is beginning to wilt in the heat (I know very strange for Scotland) as we haven't had rain for over a fortnight. We do try to keep it well watered but it tends to dry up again so quickly. I'm so glad your garden is looking so lush and beautiful and that you share it with us all.

    Such great pictures Philip...I have a lab that is 12 years old, she will be 13 in August. She does not look as well as your 16 year old...Maybe if she had a place to swim and play she would be in better shape than she does now...most of her time is spent sleeping.

    The effort and thought you have put into your garden certainly shows to advantage! Simply lovely with colors textures, heights--so much to see and enjoy!

    Eileen,..no rain for over a fortnight,..same here,.. and since March 25th the temperature was between 70F up to 33C-94F on 30th of May,..that's in the garden,..i don't wonder at your plants starting to wilt as it must be pretty warm in Scotland as well,..i use the hose every second day but also water the roots of plants like Hydrangea and Lavatera during the days i don't use the hose.

    My neighbor has a wall full of Centranthus ruber ' Red Valerian ',..it looks great and grows to about three foot high,..certainly doesn't need attention or watering,..of course i have acquired a rooted piece while passing under the wall lol,..as one should,..you must have it in Scotland as well,..originally from the Mediterranean but will survive in -15C.

    Sherry,..i do like that Fuchsia despite it not being considered a real garden addition over here,..they grow in ditches alongside roads in most Counties so people tend to go for something more exotic,..my Fuchsia could be classed as bullet proof,..no matter the weather it survives.

    Ah your Lab and Molly do have something in common,..sleep,..Molly does sleep a lot though it could be from all the walking lol,..i noticed only last week that her hearing has failed,..they grow old so quick:(

    There's something about cygnets that always makes me smile. I remember reading 'The Ugly Ducking' to my children and wondering why everyone thought the cygnet was ugly compared to a duckling. I think there's nothing nicer than seeing a swan family together.
