The flower garden is lagging far behind the veggie plots, but there is something to see every day.
Here, an overview.

An Allium

A little shrub whose name escapes me at the moment

Everything looks great. The colors are great. Is that a train in the back ground on that first pic? It's very bright. Our trains are silver and dull, at least the commuter trains. The freight trains are covered with grafiti, that's not very pleasant to look at. Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Looks great Sjoerd. You are a little bit ahead of us here. I can't wait to see the first of my Rose blooms.
Could that shrub be Hypericum of some sort?

Yes T, that is the train to Alkmaar. Some trains have grafitti too. It's a world-wide thing I believe.

I think your yellow flowering plant is Hypericum perforatum - St John's wort - Sjeord - does that name ring a bell with you? Your rose arch is so full of flowers and they're such a lovely colour - I bet they attract lots of bees and butterflies.

Hypericum... that IS it Netty and Eileen! Embarassed
That name has totally gone out of my head. I do recall now, having lookerd it up that we call it Hertshooi, or "dear's hay".......I know what you're thinking, heh heh heh. Don't ask me.
I really do not know which one it is though. We sometimes cut off the branches when they have the crimson berries and use them as part of bouquets when we cut the garden flowers for home or family.
Hypericum. Hypericum. Hypericum.--gotta remember that. Smile Thanks you guys.
.....Hypericum.

Loverly Sjoerd, just loverly. I bet the passengers on the train get a real thrill riding passed all the beauties growing in the allotments.
