    Ligularia 'Rocket'.

    alt text

    We repainted our bridge and put new slats on it; the old ones had rotted away. It had been between two pines that are at the back of the yard but they got quite large and were overgrowing the bridge. We set it here for now while we figure out its final location.

    The birds like to perch on it when they come to visit the bird bath. I might just dig out a few of the plants in that bed and move the bridge in a bit. I had stepping stones in there for access to the interior of the bed. I may just use the bridge as part of that path!

          I have more Hollyhocks than ever this year and the tallest one is very tall!

          The last one is over 8 feet tall.

          Also, my oldest Clematis is blossoming but the whole vine looks a little tired this year.

              Lovely flowers.

              Hollyhocks was the first 'proper song' I learnt on piano after a few weeks of lessons at the age of 5.

                        That is a monster. It reminds me of a similarly sized pot of geraniums that the owner of the hair salon I used to go to manage to keep alive. Somehow he'd get these huge pots into the front of the shop before the frost and he would keep them going all winter. He finally retired last year and sold the building. I wonder where those huge terra cotta pots and the geraniums went...

                          Schonbrunn castle, Vienna. Home of the Hapsburgs for a couple of centuries. Nice grounds.

                              Nice.

                              I have a 'Miss Molly' buddleia that I thought I had lost after last winter. They tend to die back to the ground in cold winters but the roots usually survive and they will re-sprout come spring. Mine took forever but it's finally grown about a foot. Hopefully it will bloom before summer is over!

                                @wtg Same happened here. I tried two separate times to grow them, but they die down in the winter and come back smaller the following spring until nothing comes up. I gave up, we don't have the climate for them... yet.

                                  She ruthlessly chops her buddlea (hedge effectively) back each year and they spring back.
                                  I've seen a couple dozen butterflies on them.

                                  Meanwhile I turned round from the DIY and saw our side path was beaming in the sun

                                    Spectacular. The drought has taken its toll here.
                                    But the hydrangeas are very blue (cuz I rake the fall leaves around it.)

                                      Don't know if this counts here... it's the result of a blossom.

                                      My first tomato of the year. I'm teaching it how to play the piano.

                                      It may be small, but it was ultra packed full of incredibly delicious flavor.
