…To the Salvation Army group from Warrington who visited tonight. Despite dark clouds and light rain everyone seemed to enjoy themselves – the group was a real pleasure to host and the coach driver made the canal bridge look as easy as anything to navigate.

A couple of quick pictures for you:

Astrantia maxima is gorgeous with its stiff petals pink on top and green underneath.


Knautia macedonica is an old favourite of mine….

…and Dieramas, or ‘Angels’ fishing rods’ are a new pleasure about which I must learn more.
