I would have expected them to have come out by now if they were going to. I'd have a look inside one of them and see.

Hummingbird Hawk Moth

they sometimes breed here but nothing survives over winter and they don't go back home

Cats

the chase and kill instinct is so strong in cats that I doubt if there's a plant that would put them off.

MORNING FORKERS

Lupin

they won't need heat but they will need protecting from slugs

I love a good seed sow and get really excited when the germinate

Garden Gallery 2013

My iris is 'Island Sunset', I love it too. Not sure if I've placed it quite to best advantage, could do with something less bitty. I've got a very black one next to it and they need separating.

what is it & why is it dying..

that's todays 'something new'. Thanks Berghill

Cherry fruit

what I had in mind was one of the Taphrina fungi, T. pruni or padi but the gall produced is hollow as a rule. Google Taphrina pruni and see if you recognise anything. A lot of them are sort of long, tongue shaped but some are round.

If not that I have no idea,  my interest is in the galls, i'm not a fruit grower. I first met T.padi on my bird cherry. Took a long time to ID it in those early daysof interweb

Lupin

some people growlupins as biennials. sow i summer, flower next year. Go for it

your not the only one sowing too many seeds but you never know how many are going to come up do you. 

was wondering today what I'm going to do with at least 10 of those climbing dicentras and 10 Buddleia lorica.  Have seed, will sow. and lots of them germinate

weed or not..

certainly smells disgusting.
