Until I looked closely I didn't think there was much but have happily been proved wrong My favourite new addition this year has been the ridiculously cheap Freesia bulbs.

Karin Your photos are beautiful! I love freesia but have never tried to grow it. Is it winter hardy where you are in the UK? The Agastache is also beautiful. The blue/purple one is lovely & I appreciate the others will only get more imposing as they mature. Tell Mark congrats on his success with the peppers. Is that his back behind the pepper & is he purposefully posing there so as to highlight the pepper?
Thank you CM. I sincerely hope the freesias are hardy but they're in smallish pots so I'll probably put them in the greenhouse at least for this year.Next year we're moving some stuff out that has out-lived its a)welcome and b) isn't very bee-friendly which is going to free up space for lots more assorted flowers which are kind to the insects and hopefully they'll survive once they're out all the time. Mark says thank you for the congratulations and no,he was at work when I took the pictures but if he had been he would have stood proudly I'm sure( he's not shy and retiring you see )
Love the colour of those Crocosmia Buttercup,..they are well named,..those Freesia sure are pretty and i can understand you saying they are your favorite new addition,..beautiful pictures as always.
