I do love nasturtiums.

Even though they took the brunt of the weather . Living in a fish box at the top of the garden is quite exposed. They are still upright, flowering and smelling divine. I’m very proud of my lilies [attachment=8424]

The Camellia is flowering properly for the first time. Last. 2 years since planting it’s only had maybe a dozen flowers each year. Photographed it before the expected storm hits at the weekend. [attachment=8781]

That's stunning. I can't even contemplate one, even though I'm often tempted, alkaline soil and frost pocket spell disaster for camelias. My friend has a large mature Magnolia Soulangeana that flowered magnificently this year only to turn into what she calls a 'teabag tree' after a recent frost. It happens like that most years. She's no gardener and takes it in her stride, if it was mine I'd be devastated.
