This was my lacecap hydrangea from my last house 🙂 Must get another 🙂

That is absolutely gorgeous @Northerner What beautiful colours. I had a similar shrub, it was white & lime green but lost it to Jack Frost:(
Good luck in finding another.

Attempting to grow a clematis through a lilac bush. As they flower roughly the same time it is beginning to look interesting...Hope the clematis does not overweight the lilac but I tend to crop larger plants to keep them and everything else in the garden happy.

All our seedlings and tomato plants are itching to get outside, but I daren’t put them out with the frosts, high winds and heavy weather. They were ready to go out weeks ago! 😱
 
Gosh, with that kind of weather where are you? We've had wind and rain showers, some very heavy. Lost some plants.Need to buy cloches for outdoor sowing.
 
We had to stick everything outside last week as we were away, then they forecast nighttime temperatures of 3 degrees, which can mean frost where we are because we are at the top of a Cotswold. Everything seems to have survived, though, but it all looks a bit wind battered, and my potatoes in pots had completely dried out because I tucked them against the house wall, and the rain came from a different direction than usual and missed them. They’ve perked up now, though.
 
EDUAD is in the Bristol area, I'm near Coventry and it's been very similar weather here too. Hammering it down with rain this very morning - very noisy rain as it bounced off everything and everywhere. Only just stopped. But at least the sky is uniformly white cloud now instead of grey.

This is todays rainy garden pic. of one of my favourite flowers. Aquilegia. So pretty.

Our aquilegia isn’t quite out yet. But it’s one of my favourite wild flowers that have sprung up all over our equally wild garden. It’s just a shame when we get a windy day and it gets flattened.
 
We started with one pink aquilegia and then bought one called Guinness which was very dark blue with an almost white middle and now we have all colours including one which is dark red I love them .They are called Grannies Bonnet here in Lancashire which I think suits them best

Yes, my favourite too. Quite delicate and susceptible to wild weather which is a shame cos they do look pretty.
 
I was wondering what to do with a spare mint I've got, what a good idea, a basket. 🙂

Lovely pix. Luv Hydrangeas. I've managed to persuade the Clem up the Hawthorns. It was lovely this year.

I bought a couple of bright pink daisy type things to brighten up a couple of matching pots I have by the front door. Guess which one came with it’s own personal snail ready installed!
