I thought the iris was foetidissima, but it obviously isn’t. I wonder what it is and where it’s come from.

It must be ordinary yellow flag, Iris pseudacorus, although how it got here, nowhere near water, I still don’t understand. Thanks to Vaughn for the ID.

The hesperis is still doing well, and now propped up. I hadn’t realised it would get so big.

I’ve let it go to seed, rather than dead-heading it, because I’d like it to come back.

The hebe has been flowering for months, including all through winter.

Oriental poppy: one out, ten to go!

The stachys near the front door will need to be brought under control soon.
