Wallaby, the camera is more discerning than the eye, but you ceraainly know how to get the best from your camera. I looked in at the photograpohy competition at our loacal Agricultural and Pastoral show yesterday and was enthralled with the photos displayed, I think your pics would win a 1st prize, you capture the seence of what you take and they are always so beautifully clear.

Ranny, I will have to have a look through your postings and see if you have put in any photos....your country does seem to me to be a very difficult place to have a garden, do you grow indoors. Oh, please let me see some of your plants.

Patti, I know how depressing it is to lose plants over winter. I purchase two gentians last summer and they also disappeared over our winter!
I think Sheffield is in Northern England? I always enjoy watching the British produced gardening shows on T.V. Some really awesome gardens shown.

Lol, one has to wonder at the names of some plants.... I think your pic of Sour Grapes is a case in point... sweet grapes would be more applicable as it is such a pretty plant.
This is my purple pentstemon, name unknown. I won it in a raffle and I love it.
