A new carnation
An old reliable
New Dawn - a favourite
This is so generous and spills everywhere
Yesterday's outing to the Driftwood café
Peter and Veronica - newlyweds, Chris and James
Don't be fooled by the empty table. This was a pause after the cream teas and before the ice creams
Here is your starter for ten. What is this plant. The flower is a sort of soft thistle like shape but its outstanding feature is its smell -faintly medicinal- eucalyptus - ish?
Names please.
alas my peony - gorgeous - enormous and pale pink has chosen not to make it. It was in the file.

I have no botanical answers, Pat, but I did enjoy the photos. :-)

Pearl: happy you dropped in:)
Pigeon droppings?
John: ha ha! But aren't they a curse. They think my arbour is their private love nest with an en suite!
Wonderful photos as always.
I adore your garden.
The un-named flower reminds me of a weed I have seen here but I am not sure what it is. No help from me.
cheers, parsnip
Parsnip: a WEED? In my Garden? You cannot be serious!
That looks to me like a salad burnet. When you crush the leaves is there also a vaguely cucumber-y smell to it?
Kevin: I've mainly noticed a eucalyptus like smell. The sort of smell you inhale to clear the tubes.
Just smelling the leaves could be described as vaguely cucumber.
I think you are right that it is the same family but these leaves are not so involved.
Thanks for looking:)
Everything looks so very Beautiful Pat...The colors and those Roses---ALL Beautiful beyond belief!I have no idea what that plant might be, but it sure looks interesting, and the smell is so distinct, from what you say!
I could live surrounded by New Dawn.
Lovely
Naomi: we are having a wonderful June which the flowers really appreciate. Now- of course we need a little rain.
Granny Annie: Me too. We could share a bower:)
Helen: :)
I have no idea about the flowers, but I was delighted to read about the tea. Did I say that I loved the red hall floor? :)
Mage: glad you like it; there is quite a bit of it scattered over the ground floor.
