Thanks for the comments :)
No bugs that I can see in these :) though they are fairly popular especially with bumble bees - they just run in circles round the flowers.
Gordon- beginning to think about doing 1 on 1 macro courses :)

Ahh, green with envy Brian :mrgreen: lol.

Gorgeous blooms, the lilac one is fabulous. I think mine is supposed to be the pink one (found a piece of the label at the base of the shrub when we moved in).

Its growing but still no flowers, so I will see what happens this summer and if still nothing, I think I might move it. Its in full sun practically all of the day but a very dry part of the garden to the side of some trees so maybe thats the problem (shouldnt be the case this year with all the rain lol).

They are all beautiful shots, but I really like #3 and #4 - love that lilac one.

PS - sorry I missed the post originally, the board is moving very fast these days and I am missing a lot of posts.
