These next four pics are Maculatas that stay the blue or pink, but don’t last as long.

And all these got my vheap/free fertilizer when I watered them with my used WC tank water.

Awesome!!

Yeah, using WC water is just a 💡idea,I think everyone should use it on their plants, potted, or in the ground. I love it for my creeping jennies.
 
Meanwhile in SE England ...

This was my neighbours' lawn at the weekend. We have a hosepipe ban and the temps have been high for ages.I can't even remember when last it rained. Everyone's lawn looks like that. Bear in mind we have the type of grass that thrives in (what used to be) typical wet and chilly English weather. As for the visitor we live in a suburban area and he has had to cross at least 2 very busy dual carriageways to leave the sanctuary of the forest

I have just put in a large water butt to hold my old aquarium water and the RO waste. I am in the process of adding a new bed as I finally decided to fill in the garden pond and have around 12 tonnes of aggregate and soil on my drive with a digger hired tomorrow to fill the hole. Not sure I'll be planting anything till late autumn though. Here's an AI rendition of what I hope to achieve - not my garden but the pond was in the middle of our decking. I built the frame this evening after work.

We've had a super year for ours , I chopped them right back last winter and its about s4 times the size with more flowers than I have ever seen. Only issue is weve had a drought in the uk ( really!) and the flowers are on the slide already
