    Looks great Toni. Your Mallow is amazing.
    What is that planted in your wheelbarrow? And what is that red bloom in the center picture? Crocosmia?

    Those mallows are like that every year. I cut them all back in June when they started dying back and most of them have started leafing and blooming again.

    The red blooms in the second picture are the Freedom Hedge Roses. I do have some Crocosmia - Emily McKenzie in that tub to the left of the roses.

    The wheelbarrow, which is actually one of three out there, is planted with Carnations and Scabiosa along with a purple Verbena and a couple of plants that I forget the name of since I planted them a couple of years ago and suddenly this year they came back ;)

    Very cheerful Toni!
    My malva Sylvestri did not weather the storm. That growth that I had posted a while back was trimmed back and it just has never recovered. It is still jsut a bunch of greenish leaves, no blooms as all. I'll have to trya gain next year. It is one of my favorites.

    Thanks all for the nice comments about my garden.
    I love the way it looks in June.....July and August I am not too happy with, but there might be some reblooming going on in the fall when the weather cools and maybe we get some rain.

    great garden Toni. I always like seeing your windmill. Have you posted how you utilize your greenhouse or have I missed that one? Thanks for sharing.
