Rescued!

I'm in the process of sorting out the garden because quite a lot of the summer flowering annuals have almost gone over. This year they have served me extremely well and really have flowered their heads off so I have had my money's worth.
When all this is finished, hopefully by the end of the weekend, I will put a few pansies and winter flowering cyclamen in the large pots just to give the garden some colour through the winter months.
On Monday as I was returning from the garden centre with a bag of compost in my trolley, I stopped to chat to a man at the end of the road as he was sorting out his garden which had been badly overgrown for some time. He said he was going to have a vegetable patch down one side and wanted to put some perennial flowers in the bit he was working on. I told him that I had some plants which needed dividing and that as I had just started, I would let him have some.
The rudbekia has spread like wildfire so I have to lift a lot of that anyway and I have also noticed that a long flowering geranium, Wargrave's Pink, has seeded itself in the pot where the parsley is, so I can separate that out too.
There are one or two other plants I can let him have if he wants but today I rescued a lovely specimen of gaillardia, garden goblin, which had pushed up through the packed tarmac and rubble at the side of the house. It must be a really strong plant because it was one I had planted a couple of years ago in the garden that the landlady had removed in December so I think after all that effort, it deserves a place in a garden where it can give joy and pleasure, and be admired!
