    1. The red and yellow flowers are from my new hot colour bed, Jo. Their first season so I am particular happy to see them flowering.

    2. My fingers always seem to haver a mind of their own, Margaret and I'm sure that the keyboard jumps about out of mischief. That variety is Fireball that is supposed to be less prone to mildew.

  6. Is your first photo one of Gaillardia "Arizona Sunset"? I had one of those that was fab for one year but died the following Winter - which surprised me.

    1. It just says gaillardia Arizona Sun, Mark so is probably the same. It's new this year so we will see whether it survives.

    Great pictures Sue, Monardas don't do well with me, I find them very prone to mildew, too damp and shady.

    1. That was something that worried me Rick but this variety - Fireball is supposed to have some resistance to mildew. This is it;s first year and so far so good even though a lupin planted alongside it is covered in the stuff
