Does it flower, Pete?
We had one in our garden on the West coast, and it flowered every year.

Love the pigeons. Be interested to know what is growing in the mahonia pot!
Usually I look at the weather about this time, I just don't want to look, fearing it will rain!!!!!!

You can get lovely effects from clouds - this is our beagle Georgie last November in Newhall Valley Country Park which is close to our house:-
It WAS a nice sunset that evening:-

Well, it's actually warm and sunny here!!!!!!!!!
Been very pleased with my agapanthus this year - if the dog would stop ploughing through them. So putting my Horlicks mixer jar to good use holding broken agapanthus head courtesy of my dog. The heads are about 8" in diameter and I have 10 heads on one plant. Very striking plant.
Have now given up on my box hedging (taken over by box caterpillar) - it's all coming out. I've had enough and spent enough on trying to control it. Probably replace it with good old-fashioned privit.

I always work on the basis that the sun is always below the yard arm somewhere.
Maybe 14C here, but good enough to fire-up the BBQ.
The wind is backing round to the SE, so we will see some fine weather over the next few days.

Agapanthus looks great in the vase.
I do the same as I have some tall, delicate hydrangea that tend to bend and break with the weight of the rain. Roses too, or if there's a storm I'd rather cut them and put into a vase.

Very nice weather here!!!!!! Watering and tidying done. The long handled tweezers have been out, helping me to remove some moss type weed.

It's so annoying when the plants get destroyed by the weather.
Always seems a bit unfair to me.

It goes with the territory here, SH. We are only about 150 yards from the sea, facing North.
I'll get some pics of the Buddleia tomorrow. They are in a state.

Oh no. More devastation, that's a shame.

The wind is whipping up clouds of thistle {?] weeds & it`s almost like snow falling. The nearest field is only 100 yards away & the farmer used to sow cereal etc but 2 years ago he sold out to a developer who went bust & consequently the field is now a mass of thistles & nearby gardens are wick with thistle weed heads. Should be a bit of a headache next year.
