Me too - it's colours are almost unbelievable. When it first flowered, I couldn't quite believe it was natural! (Sadly, only one of the six I put in has survived winter here in the UK.)

Thank you - I'll do a proper look around the garden as we get things sorted. The 'befores' and 'afters' shock us everytime we discover a shot of how bad it was when moved in. And that sage? Yeah she's a beaut' - but quite a short flowering period. I'm going to see - once the plants are a bit more established if a brutal dead-heading after they've flowered prompts another flush!

Love that dahlia! But they're all lovely... That rose is gorgeous - never seen one like it! My mum used to grow roses too... :)

Ah thank you. It's a stunner isn't it? And that rose... I don't deserve it to do as well as it is, I've dug it up and moved it 4 times! And each time it keeps coming back and flowering. I can't bare to leave it anywhere... (and we kept moving with work.) Hopefully settled for a little bit now. Long enough for it - and us - to put down roots!

It's a tough one - and wants to go along with you! :D And maybe even enjoyed the changes... (Haha!) But now it might feel at home and like you say, want to put down permanent roots...
