I took a break from the hard labour of cutting grass to take a set of photos in the front garden.

I think theres a couple of Heleniums in there Eric. I planted a groupof three but one died. These two have been here for about 3 years.

Very nice. Thanks for the tour. I see you have Salvia Hot Lips. There is one called Amethyst Lips which is purple and whte and Cherry Lips which is a different red and white.

Thanks for the Salvia suggestions, Eric. I will look out for them!
They are beautiful little flowers!

To my amazement, I see a Leucanthemum just about to flower in my garden. I also find them very difficult to establish - Ive lost lots of them over the years, but still buy them!
My favourite is LEUCANTHEMUM x superbum 'Wirral Supreme'. Have you grown it?

Would love to be able to get hold of it. My mother-in-law had it in her garden, and I really liked it then. No-one round here seems to sell it.
We have a tried few Leucanthemums, but like for you they seem very difficult to get them to establish. Molluscs play havoc with them.
