As I enjoyed your June flowers I was saying, "don't have that, don't have that" until I got to the ones I did have. I have never heard of the soapwort. Looks like a pretty flower. Your cross vine is still blooming and your Gregg's mistflower too. Both surprises. Just wait on that creeping germander. It will creep next year. Happy Bloom Day.
I love Rosa mutabilis, it has such a surprising combination of colours and it has single flowers. A winner for me.
I love the soapwort, it is called Bouncing Bet here. But she does need watching or she will bounce all over the garden.
Glad to hear that the creeping germander will kick in next year! The soapwort/Bouncing Bet was one of the plants I inherited with the house that took a while for me to identify. Luckily, she's in part shade, so she doesn't bounce around much (good to know about the spreading, Chloris, thanks!).
