I love your herb garden Granny Goose so well organised with them all labelled Thanks Eli 😀 I'm trying to teach my 4 year old grandson about plants you can eat, and plants you can't, so that's why the herbs are all labelled....he knows they are OK to taste. The sweet William is labelled because his name is William, and he can read that, but he knows not to eat them! 😀 There's a lot of poisonous stuff in my garden,like foxgloves and aconitum, and I'm teaching him that they must not be touched! The only "safe plants" are in the herb garden. He's a bright little boy and seems to be getting the message!😀

Oh heck grindle, I don't know why that is? Must be the gremlins at work 😁 (I am having a lot of problems posting pics on here....don't know why 😕)

Geumlover, your Auriculas are gorgeous! I love the colours, and the velvety petals.

I wish I could grow Auriculas. They always die with me.
Here's an encliandra fuchsia Isis Lemoine :-

I love the third and fourth auriculas in Geum's list - and the sort of frosted look some of them have is really pretty. Here's my 'theatre' outside my front door - I have a lot of fun changing the plants around on this as the seasons come and go. It's maybe a bit vibrant for good taste at the moment but I enjoy it.

There's nothing wrong with 'vibrant' Bess, I don't do 'subtlety' !

Lots of my fuchsias are like dead sticks at the moment also Granny Goose but many are in full leaf even though they are all in the same shelter. Strange.
In fact some of them actually ARE dead sticks ! This winter has been bad for them.

I've lost so many fuchsias over winter this year, Eli, some that I've had for years 😢😢 The ones that are showing signs of life are way behind...I don't think I'll see much of a fuchsia display in my garden, this year! Bess, I LOVE your display, it looks great! 😁 I really enjoy my pots and love playing around with them and changing them around as the seasons change. For me, it's the fun part of gardening!😁
