Garden tour part II

I won't pretend the wet winter (and spring and summer) didn't knock Agave americana medio-picta back but it looks OKish now...
Image

This white Echinops has only just opened. Lots of flower to come...
Image

the kniphofia are pretty much done....
Image

Image

If you plant it...they will come. Red Admirals are probably my most common butterfly...
Image

bumbles by the dozen on the single lavender....
Image

and one of my girls getting busy for me on the Verbana...

Best visitor so far is a hummingbird hawkmoth (well....I've also had buzzard, marsh harrier, honey buzzard, kestrel and a pair of spoonbills over the top but they don't really count).
