Sunny Day and Pretty Flowers


I bought some sweet pea plants from Stourhead, on the aforementioned outing. They didn't do much for ages.. I have finally got flowers! Will pick them later. Love sweet peas. They smell beautiful :)

A few years ago, we bought some lillies. We had three varieties, five of each. They did fantastically well the first year, moderately the second, and have been decidedly mediocre since then. This year I have ONE flower. On the plus side, I think it's rather a beauty.

Last year they were decimated by Scarlet Lilly Beetle, as I didn't recognise what the problem was. Havn't seen hide or hair of any this year. Probably because I only have one lily left.
