                      And a self sown snapdragon. Love these - forgot all about these old fashioned things, but going to go round and find all the other self sown snaps and move them to one area. Watch this space!

                        Haven’t noticed these in the garden before but a lovely blue colour difficult to photograph very well without getting out my camera any ideas what it is?

                        And another flowering shrub that again I’ve no idea what it is but pretty so I’m sharing it despite looking like a dunce I’m sure!

                        • Number three is a Rhodendron. Can you manage a better picture of the first one, it’s a bit difficult to see for identification.

                          • I think the first one is Paulownia tomentosa, sometimes called a Foxglove Tree, I remember seeing them in flower in Lisbon.

                            • Rhododendron- I knew I should know what it was!!
                              Ok another attempt otherwise will have to get out my camera but that won’t be for a couple of days!

                              It probably doesn’t help that there’s another tree behind it!
