British Flora and Fauna

Kathryn has started a lovely series of very informative postings on English Flora and Fauna on her blog .

I just need to let you know that this will not be like that. {g} This is just a random collection of things I snapped in our garden in a briefly sunny moment last week.

Flowers which, I'm pretty sure, used to be called Montbretia but seem to have changed their name.

Everlasting sweetpea or something like that?
Um, a big yellow flower? I have lots of these and they are very cheerful.
Purple buddliah, Beloved of Butterflies,
White buddliah, Not So Beloved.
Errrr...a butterfly.
Another butterfly?

Oh, oh, I know this one! Feline, Domestic Shorthair! At least, that's what the vet calls her. {g}

LOL - I was just lamanting to my MIL how I hadn't realized I had planted irises in my garden. She looked at me & said, "Are you sure those are irises? They look like glads to me." Um, yeah, glads, yeah that's what I meant! LOL

Dorothy, you do make me chuckle. As you know I love to garden also, but often do not know the names of what I have.

Thanks for sharing some of your garden.

Is that Montbresia what we call day lilies?

I am really bad with plant names. I am really bad with plants.
