I bought a pack of these at Shannon’s last year, they’ve come back this year with at least 20 of these on each plant. No idea what it is, they seem to open and close randomly too. Quite enjoying the display

Wow! They’re all spectacular shots but love the last one especially because of the colours. It would make a wonderful framed poster on the wall! Is it a clematis ?

The red stigma and pollen antler pic is from the tree lily you gave me. Amazing plant.

Dependant on when you move you can dig up the bulbs and take them with you!
Our white flowering Hebe is proving a real magnet for winged things- have taken a few cuttings to see if I can propagate it.

I know this is more about the flowers in the gardens, but I was thrilled today to spot a dragonfly!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in my garden before. It was resting on my clothes drying outside. Unfortunately it flew off before I could take a photo!

I love seeing them as well - more often damselflies than dragonflies though did see a huge dragonfly the other day!
Balloon flower. Aka Platycodon.
