Carpenteria, alongside a red bottlebrush.
Front bed
Pineapple broom, cytisus battandieri, smells of pineapple
Indigofera, some species of which produce indigo. Bears seed pods
One of several daughters of the climbing rose Kiftsgate.
Rosa mundi
Hostas are now flowering
Honeysuckle
A wet iris, iris ensata - it should hate alkaline soil/water but is doing OK here
Another daughter of Kiftsgate rose, with a gunnera manicata in front. Although a savage climber which will reach 100 foot, it is pruned hard after flowering.
Wild verbascum (mullein) with white rosebay
Garden-worthy verbascum, with orange roses behind
