Oh, I have been lazy again with my social media …
This border is planted with ornamental grasses, biennials and perennials - and also home to self sown biennials (Evening primrose, Teasels behind in the grass meadow) and annuals (Poppies, Corncockle). The grasses glow in the summer morning light.

The bottom of the garden. Confusingly, the garden slopes *up* towards the bottom.
Bottom left the pond. The brick construction on the right is what we call the folly. Bees, other insects, birds and pond dwelling individuals love it. So do I.
Planted to feel and look natural, wild, full and overflowing. Weeds a.k.a. wildflowers are welcome.

I love Hollyhocks! They are beautiful, tall, robust, unruly, bawdy and keep going all summer. Bees and other insects love them and behave as if they were shopping for recreational drugs.
This plant lives in an area in the garden called the Garden of Delights.

This border is what I see when I look out of the living room patio doors.
Essentially, this is a grasses border interplanted with perennials - plus self sown annuals and biennials.

A Phlomis in a border in the garden. Most likely a Phlomis russeliana or Turkish sage.
The many seedheads are from just one plant. Widespread now but native to the area that is now Turkey and Northern Greece. Bees and other insects love it.
