Iris and Lilies. when you buy them get the variety of lily that says hearty. They are beautiful and come up every year and are no fus except keeping the snails off them and i got some great advice on here how to do that. Ive had them for many years. Also shasta daisys and blackeyed susans.

Cream-bordered Green Pea, Earias clorana. This small moth with a long name was a rather exciting visitor to the garden - it's a Notable B species and I've never seen it before. Interestingly, two other moffers living close to me have also trapped this species for the first time in the past few days. This suggests that either the same moth is doing a bit of a moth trap crawl, or there's a local population. Shame it's a bit faded; when fresh it's a lovely vibrant green.
