Can't find the name of this lily.
Rose 'The Generous Gardener' on my arch, this has a lovely scent
Campanula glomerata
The delphiniums and lupins have done well this year.

I love the delphiniums, Peony. 'Generous Gardener' is a lovely delicate shade of pink.
'Earre Barre' looks like it's a dancer twirling, with its petal skirts fluffed out like that! Wonderful.

Your Campanula glomerata 'Caroline' is doing much better than mine, peony - I'd hoped it would have spread like its brothers, but it hasn't. Lovely colour, isn't it. My lupins have been munched by snails again...yours are looking wonderful!

Some tiny little Fuchsia flowers
'Our William' :-
'Venus Victrix' :-
It's the first Fuchsia ever to have a white calyx, grown in in 1840, and all modern Fuchsias with white calyxes have descended from it
'Purperklokje' ... pronounced 'Purpur-klok-yeh' and it means 'purple bell'
All these Fuchsias are very tiny - Venus Victrix is just about the size of your thumbnail ...

Love your fuchsias, @hywel - I'm rubbish at keeping them from year to year. Here's Rosa 'Kiftsgate' which is amazingly rampant! It covers the pergola and grows right across the kitchen roof. This is just part of the part I can see from the ground - I'd need to be a bird to see all of it!

It is prettier than I thought because it is usually too high in huge gardens to see it closely. Lovely Geranium.

Thank you Geranium. Some fuchsias varieties are easier to keep than others. The hardy ones should do well for you.
That's a beautiful rose. It's huge. The ones that ramble like that are my favourites.

It is indeed a monster of a rose! The trouble with my ramblers is that they're 'one hit wonders' - I wish they were repeat flowering.

There are (as always) a few exceptions. Malvern Hills must be counted as one of the best repeat flowering ramblers with masses of buttermilk yellow flowers over a long season.

I saw in the Gardening News mag this week, that more types of repeat flowering ramblers are just beginning to come on the market. There was a pink once called 'Francois'-something that it suggested, and some 'mini ramblers' which sounded interesting. My fuschias are getting started now. I bought 6/7 different ones this year to try, as I've never had them in bedding much before. 'Mrs Popple' - I bought this because I loved the name. If I had the room, I'd be inclined to start a 'National Collection of Plants with Great Names' - 'Blackie' 'Dancing Flame' is a more in your face fuschia! I'm not sure if I really like the nearly florescent orange/pink or not, but it's nice and bright;

I inherited 'Mrs Popple', Bess - she's hardy and really reliable. She stays out all year round. I tried 'Blackie' because I liked her, but I'm rubbish at over-wintering fuchsias, so she died. I like the colour of 'Dancing Flame'.

I like 'Dancing Flame' Bess but I am not sure about 'Blackie' which I have. It is short and each flower does not last long. In my baskets it looks no better than the pale ones.
