Does anyone know anything about gardening?

Your Euphorbia looks lovely! Are there 2 different types there? Your Peony looks well advanced for this time of year. No heads on your Alliums yet?

Sorry for the slow reply, totally missed your questions.

I think the Euphorbia's are Wolfenii and something like Black Eyed Pearl, we've just added some red stemmed Purperea versions out the back and if they don't die I'll take some pictures. The peony is storming but some of our alliums have produced a lot of leaves and no flower which is odd - maybe it was a lack of water or sun last year... Here's a photo from another part of the same border and they're much happier including an orange geum that's gone nuts.
