I have those little violas called heartsease self set around, and they cross with the bigger ones I've had. I haven't grown any for a long time, they just self set, some get to be huge plants and flower forever. That pic looks unreal! Such a combination, I had an orange one a few years ago, they grow again the following year and are quite tough, now I'm thinking of getting another! Too much!

Galanthophile, if there are that many I don't think I will chase the rest of them! Well not yet anyway! I have a lot and they look lovely and last a long time, what more can one want??

James Co it is a drainage drain of sorts, call it what you will depends on where you come from! We would have called it a creek, here a dyke, further north a beck, or if you're posh (oh ye) a beck. All road sides have them here to drain water from the land, it is supposed to go into the National waterways. Ours has a very old engineering brick lining, with a hollow 'well' just through the pipe under the bridge. That pic of the ducks was a bit further up in front of the neighbours house, which is adjoined to us. Hers is messy, we keep ours neater, I have bog plants planted at the edge. The iris are the big yellow flag type, it was full of them when we moved here. We keep it dug out, but since she made herself a nuisance we no longer offer to do hers!
