I took a break from the hard labour of cutting grass to take a set of photos in the front garden.

I think theres a couple of Heleniums in there Eric. I planted a groupof three but one died. These two have been here for about 3 years.

Those two are the only survivors of all the ones we have planted over the time. They are both reported as thugs so perhaps that is the answer, only grow thugs.
Now what we lose to molluscs are Leucanthemums and Heleniums. Neither of those survive for any length of time, no matter what we do.

Its brilliant Eric.

I love your Alstroemerias. I have them in the cut flower garden area, and they get devoured by the slugs as soon as they start to shoot.
Any tips for growing these (apart from Slug Pellets!)

Not as colourful as it has been, but quite adequate.

Thank you for sharing these photos Eric.
You have a fantastic range of flowers in your garden!
I love your Iris collection. They are real beauties.
Do I spot some Paeonies in bloom? Shows the difference in your climate compared to ours in N Ireland.
My Paeonies are still in bud!
