More flowers from my garden...

1 Stachys lanata (Lambs' ears)
2 Lamium beacon silver
3 Clashing colours - the pile of slabs in bottom rh corner is indicative of the general state of the garden - will soon be having yet more excavations to find problems with the drains. also our back fence blew down in the winter and the scaffolding has just come down off the back of next door, where they removed and replaced four storeys of rendering, meaning large chunks of it ended up on our side!
4 Cardoon, taller than me, though that's not difficult. It's got large thistle like flowers similar to a globe artichoke which are good for drying. And you can eat the stems, taste like artichoke
5 Ivy leaved toadflax
6 Floral tapestry
