    What a lovely and full garden, Ms. Crocosmia. The photos are very pretty. We look forward to more. I especially love the blue Himalayan Poppy. :setc_005: Here's a cheer for your garden.

    Don't you just love blue poppies? They're one of my favourite flowers as the blue is just such a wonderful shade. :-D

    I love your garden Mrs Crocosmia! There are so many things to look at. I'm sure I could spend hours wandering around in there. Great job and I can't wait to see more :)

    Wonderful borders! I really like the lily. Our lawn is also disappearing, a little every year.

    You have a beautiful garden Mrs C. The Himalayan Blue Poppy is most definitely eye-catching.

    P.S I combined your posts into one post instead.
