    Thank you, yes the slugs can get at them but so far they've been alright. When the cosmos are small they can be susceptible from the slugs.

    Beautiful lupine & alliums Logan! I love the bicolor lupine.

    Have you tried DE or sand for the slugs?

    I have these bright silvery flowers, I don’t know the English name though. 3FC7D486-F58F-42AB-BEF9-E2106013F099.jpeg

    The peonies are finally opening.

    The filled calendula is stunning too.

    @Odif looking very nice, I don't know the English name for those silvery and white flowers also, but I have seen them.

    Internet tells me they are cerastium tomentosum. A plant native to Italy and Sicily. Also known as snow in summer.

    More patio roses coming out, though some blooms are showing signs of being a bit damaged by that hard frost we had one night a few weeks back.

    Our roses are still growing and won't flower for another month yet.

    Due to the warm weather our tortoise shell rhodo has made an early appearance.

    It was the same size as the white one in the foreground when we bought both about fifteen years ago. They were half price in Wyevale as the buds had frost damage. A few years ago I pruned off some of the front branches as it overhung the lawn too much.

    The wisteria on the fence looks better for my having stripped off the dying blooms last night.

    The giant lilies are doing well. We've over a dozen along the length of the side fence. The two rhodos in front of these will need some dead-heading by Sunday.
