Hi Vivvy,
Can you tell me what the second flower is in your line-up.

It’s interesting to see Brit.s now putting zone numbers on their gardens – when I was in Northumbria about 5 years ago I asked the gardener/owner at a garden/nursery open to the public what zone it was in as there was a plant I was interested in and wondered if it might grow in zone 5b. The response was that she didn’t know anything about zones – so I had to guess knowing that the Scilly Isles were zone 9.

Cheers
