A butterfly, ladybird & bee are playing plant charades. It's the bee's turn. After doing the whole words/syllables thing she simply stands there. Doesn't move at all. After several minutes the others admit defeat & ask "okay, what was it then?" She sighs. "Astilbe!" #Gardening

I was afraid Anemone hupehensis ‘Bowles’s Pink’ was done for after the hot dry summer. I needn’t have worried #GardensHour 🌱

An illuminated Tardis is very impressive. Do you keep your garden tools in it?

Miss Bateman is a beauty of a Clematis. Glad your bulbs eventually arrived. Yodel sent me a message to say they'd left mine in my designated safe place. I got home to find them on the doorstep.
