Hi Merlin. This is one of our native so-called Water Crowfoot's, possibly Ivy-leaved Crowfoot?...or Three-lobed Crowfoot? Something like that anyway.

Not a bit, though I have made a couple of planting suggestions over the years but mostly my mothers with dad recruited for heavy work and cutting the grass

Lovely - especially the pond area and the border. My tree Peony looks like that - do you know its name by any chance please? It's a tree Peony (Paeonia ludlowii) about six foot tall and grown from seed.

Red hawthorn was the first tree I bought when I moved here. I love it, but mine is not as pretty as your variety Geranium.

Yummy pics Geranium....love the Hawthorn ;D...My Gurnsey Cream is in bud......just hope it is not suffering from the dreaded "wilt"....hopefully it was just the hot sun and the fact it needed a drink.....fingers crossed

strange you should say that, I planted a new viticella last week and that has collapsed as well, can't make it out, it wasn't for the lack of water.
Love all your pretties WLF & Geranium
