A couple of days ago I moved my hanging baskets from the interior of the balcony to the front above the railings. They have variegated Geraniums in them that are in their 3rd year now! They each also have a trailing Begonia that has sprouted for the 2nd year. I put a few Lobelias & Calibrachoas in each basket & left them to get established for a couple of weeks before moving the baskets. I also hoped to buy some more Lobelias to bulk out the baskets but haven't been able to find any locally!

Looking good already balc2, your baskets are going to be stunning!
I've planted 12 up around the garden & am going to start on the pots now, I don't normally bother with colour themes but have done red, white & blue on some this year for the jubilee.

I crocheted some bunting & a cushion which I dressed the arbour with at the weekend, I'm not a big royalist but thought I'd join in!

Few more pics. from around the garden yesterday.

Glenfiddich rose just about to open.

I've got an orchid seaburn which has just suddenly appeared this year in a container which I'd left a bit weedy & was going to plant up again - leaving it now as I don't want to disturb the orchid - I think it may be a marsh or possibly early purple wild orchid? I posted a pic. before but it's opened up a little more now.

Darmera & primulas by the pond & arbour.

The Dutch Gold roses looking gorgeous now.

Unlabelled rose which I think was supposed to be Ruby Wedding but has gone more pink over the years.

Candelabra primulas & white-tailed bumblebee
