Flowers in the colours border.

This giant scabiosa came with me from the last garden, It will get huge, reaching up to about four feet and be left with interested heads, bobbling about on their tall strong stems.









The bright pink flower is a geranium which I picked up half price and yet it's lasted for months now; a real little gem for summer long colour.












The border has really come on seeing as how it's only been in for a few months.





















The common name for this plant is Angel's fishing rod. I saw a deep pink one, in a great big clump in someone's front garden which looked fantastic but I like the blue version best, it's a little less bold and showy and I notice the graceful arching habit more when the colour is not demanding my attention. It's not the best photograph to show how much it arches.











This is the Albino foxglove, planted up in the black and white garden, only to open up pink! It has now been moved to a more appropriate place.
