 Buddleia, Hardy geranium, azaleas (and another shrub I inherited but have never identified 🙈) have survived....and  some surprisingly tenacious carnations

I had tulips which we inherited with the house. We never lifted the bulbs and each year we got more and more....till Mr Y changed the borders and put down weed preventing membrane and stones. Only the bigger shrubs have survived.

Last weekend I had a visit from two friends who came up from Birmingham (one had a valid reason, checking on his late dad's empty house). We met in the Peace Gardens, had a coffee (all at a 2m distance). My friends partner is a keen photographer, he was taking photos of some flowers and I said, that's an Allium.

Proper impressed they were.
