This week it’s six on Saturday from Somerset. It’s a bit of a neglected garden but there are some flashes of loveliness.

The perennials are outgrowing the weeds thankfully.

The Echinop is a real bee magnet and has grown really well again this year. The colour is vibrant in the summer garden and I must add some more.

The white phlox seems to have spread quite a bit. There are patches of it in places I didn’t realise it was planted in. It’s a glorious almost iridescent white in certain light. Almost see through in bright sun.

When we moved in over 25 years ago we had a lot of self seeded evening primrose with a pretty acid yellow flower. We now only have a few of these growing but they have never been lost in the years since we moved in.

It’s been an awesome year for roses. I pruned them late this year. The trouble with not being at the cottage as often this year is that we often miss the best displays. This is an absolute gem of a rose. Don’t ask me its name. I have never been a great one at labelling. It’s in my list to do better.

Buddleja davidii,is a bit like marmite. You either love it or hate it. We started off with Buddleja globosa.

A lovely orange/yellow flower which we lost along the way and replaced with a lovely white.

It’s easy to photograph bits of the garden in isolation and to avoid the weeds. This is through the honeysuckle arch and you can’t see the abundant bindweed and ground elder.
