I didn’t grow up with Phloxes, but every year I love them more and more. This first one could be Phlox burgii X Great Dixter (or not!). Do tell if you know better! Such a jolly bloom. Next is Phlox maculata ‘Alpha’ with upright rich pink flower clusters about the size of a tennis ball tube.- looking great here with Artemesia ludoviciana. And finally the more sedate pale pink Phlox paniculata ‘Monica Lynden Bell’. As Bruce Forsyth might have said, they’re all my favourites. A visual treat, accompanied by a delicious scent. A must for every garden.Streatham Cemetery‘Apero’- first (outdoor) tomatoes to start ripening . Thanks @seaspringseedsThis garden hasn’t been touched since the beginning of March. Now a wildlife haven! Love it!!Gladiolus callianthus and Gaura lindheimeri (‘Rosyjane’?) in a window boxOlder posts

Just looking for pattern ideas for 2 hedges in my front yard. I am an amateur hedge artist.

Just wondering what kind of camera and lens you use for your beautiful photos?
Hi Bev, I use a Nikon D300 and a 18-70 f3.5-4.5 zoom. I think both body and lens are no longer available as I’ve had this equipment for some years, but I have my eye on a D700 (which you can also shoot video on) and need to research which lenses are currently out there. V.best Naomi
