    The hanging baskets are still good.

    Thank you Pacnorwest, they do take a long time to get going but they'll go on until we get a frost.

    Loggie—Magnificent display those hangers male.

    Daniel— I really like all your colour. Those plants that you are showing are ones that I personally like very much.
    I whole-heartedly agree with Pac’s last comment.

    A couple odds and ends.
    Not flowers but a dwarf white pine tree. Only 4’ tall and 5’ wide. Pinus strobus 'Nana'.another tree the squirrels have been harassing. It’s 25 years old.
    I like the bark detail and long needles.

    Ampelopsis Glandulosa Variegated Porceline vine.

    I think this plant Gunnera huge leaves is banned in the UK it’s invasive . Here it is ok.

    Great set of foto’s. That pine tree is so interesting to examine and, well, just look at.
    There are folks here that have the Gunneras in their gardens, but you are right, they can be thugs.

    Sj. So what’s that ole saying. One persons gift is another’s white elephant. That thug gunnera sure demands a lot of water. And fussy if it snows.
    Nice to hear you enjoyed the dwarf weeping pine. It’s hard to find them around.

    I can imagine that they might be hard to find. I have never seen that one.

    People don't dispose of plants correctly here. I copied this from the RHS website.
    Did you know?
    Strict rules apply in the UK for Gunnera tinctoria and G. × cryptica – it is an offence to plant or cause these to grow in the wild. They are banned from sale and gardeners already growing these plants should undertake measures to prevent spread beyond their garden and ensure correct disposal of plants. Existing plants in gardens do not have to be removed, but any excess material should be disposed of either by burning on site or taking to a waste processing centre (find out more). These rules do not apply to G. insignis and G. killipiana, but these are not hardy in most gardens.
