Oh BW how fantastic to see your garden! Yes I did spot the geraniums - (G.oxonianum I think!), the pink one under the tree! And I spotted the three red pelargoniums in terracotta pots going up (or down!) the steps!

The story about your DD's sculpture is wonderful! And I love the sculpture, especially how you have it nestled among the ferns and hostas. I also spotted Sedum spectabile - I have a lot of that. It does well here because of its drought-tolerance and the butterflies love it. I see you stake yours - I just let mine flop! Also blue irises - hard to see from the pic but i think they're the smaller species - the Dutch ones, not the big bearded ones? The blues are much deeper and truer then the beardies. I have loads of pale, insipid beardies that I inherited with the garden and would like to replace them over time.

I spotted the lettuce round the pansies as well - and next to that you have something in a cage (!) with tagetes marigolds round the base?

I love your wooden chair set - is that where you sip pina coladas and watch the neighbours? :lol: OR do you gently swing in that hammock and let DH wait on you, like Terri's cabana boy?! :D :wink:
