View attachment 24587 Hello Mary Mary, its persicaria amplexicaulis fat domino.....not sure the photo does it justice. The colour is deep red
Above some anemones with hosta, restio, agastache and Sanguisorba. A sitting area with lots of heliotrope, honeysuckles and jasmine....even a couple of night scented zaluzianskyas

@Verdun what are those lovely tall little thingys? stunning photos. Your anemones not taking over? What are they exactly?

@MaryMary Did you adjust something .. very naughty! Haha! Hilarious though ..


:) My phone has different settings on it. I've been playing. :oops: :ROFLMAO: Under "Effects" on the phone, I can choose from None, Black & White, Antique, or Negative. The last two pictures were taken in negative.

I love the "neon blue" lilies, and the way negative makes the tree look so stark and the white fluffy clouds look so... menacing. :ninja: I believe there is more detail to the clouds in negative than what I saw with my eyes!

@MaryMary That's a very clever phone. Antique is what we called sepia .. very clever indeed. I bet the Chinese use your phone to produce blue flowers .. and flog them on fleabay! :p:D

the hydrangea 'limelight' (the larger ones shown) have started their show-a rainy Friday morning.View attachment 24419
What a spectacular garden mg, can I call you that for short or do your prefer the more formal mg guy:). I love the the softness of the curved edges and your plant placement. Lots of thought has obviously gone into that. Thanks for sharing

Ahh, call me whatever, lol.

The limelight's are in full sun facing south-they can take some heat.
The ample rain this year has insured their success.

the standard tree forms in the front take a good amount of sun as well.

So many clusters. Is it south facing? What aspect is it facing?

South west facing alp ......not sure picture does it justice. I love it and when it turns white any day now it will stay like that until September when it turns pink. I have a purple lobelia and an orange helenium both about to open too there so should look pretty good then ;)
Will get another paniculata prob Phantom as they are so generous with flower :)
Yes, excellent planting mg........limelight is set off superbly by your white house :)
