    The rose is perfumed but I can't smell much on any of the lilies at the moment - and I know they're a mix of Asiatic and Oriental.

      My first thought on seeing it was Asiatic as I always think they spread out falter than Orientals, no matter what type it is its a good looking flower
      it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

                I have Awakening (the double form of New Dawn rose) flowering on the garden arch - which I've just noticed is beginning to fall down. Oops, added to the list of jobs to do...

                    Thelma the roses have been fabulous this year - mine really have taken off.
                    VC I think hours is a spinosus- I have the other one with the big leaves.

                      My flower of the day is a white rambling rose I had as a cutting. As said above the roses have been fabulous this year and is slowly covering its frame.

                          Can I join in? My flower for today, herbaceous Potentilla. Tough little thing that will grow almost anywhere.

                            Thanks Scarlet. Hadn't thought about it before but it is a Spinosus.

                            Out of interest, Acanthus leaves are often used in Art and Architecture.

                              Today it’s a Hosta flower. Don’t know which cultivar the flowers all look much the same. Grown in pots and I have kept the slugs off!!!!!
