8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden
Nick Hamilton owner of
Tricyrtis
A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'.
Penstemon
I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes.
Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata'
With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it
will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade.
Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue'
A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your
garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period.
Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem'
If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers.
Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange'
A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days.
Rosa 'Noisette Carnee'
A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November.
Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel'
I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.

'Skibidi' among 6,000 words added to Cambridge dictionary

Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu", and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher said. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the plant.

7 things that are making you look lower class, including a common beauty trend – but you can fix in seconds

Plus, three easy expert-approved tips to look chic on a budget DRAB TO FAB 7 things that are making you look lower class, including a common beauty trend – but you can fix in seconds MANY may wrongly assume you need to fork out a fortune to look chic and elegant. But that's not necessarily the case - and sometimes, you can actually achieve the very opposite, an elegance coach recently warned. 2 According to the whizz, even a hefty price tag of the mini dress won't help achieving a chic impression Credit: Tiktok/@ladyblue_official 2 As well as urging to steer clear of tattoos and bling jewellery, the elegance coach advised to give popular designer bags a miss Credit: Tiktok/@ladyblue_official From skimpy dresses and a common beauty trend, there are seven style faux pas that don't do you any favours if you want to appear classy, elegance whizz Lady Blue revealed. According to the style pro, who boasts a whopping 1million followers on her page, rocking a tight mini dress will make you look lower class - and even the price tag won't help achieving a chic impression. ''It can be a very expensive designer dress - but it looks very low class. ''All these ladies in Monaco and Palm Beach wearing short dresses and high heels look like they work there just to be able to afford those bags and dresses,'' she shared her brutal verdict in the now-viral clip. According to the elegance pro, there are also three popular beauty trends you should be avoid unless you want to appear lower class. One of them, Lady Blue warned, was rocking mega long nail extensions with lots of bling. Sure, the intricate design may have set you back loads - but in her eyes, ''it looks so incredibly tacky''. Another trend that's loved by many across the world but will give you a ''cheap'' vibe are huge eyelash extensions, the whizz went on in the video. ''So much money, time and discomfort just to look worse. All these ladies are so much prettier without those lashes.'' Is your body covered in ink? It's bad news, as the TikTok-famous guru also savaged body art. Woman shocks with outfit that shows 'zero class' as she walks down the beach promenade with one butt cheek fully out Lady Blue said: ''It's definitely not cheap to get it done in reputable places and from good artists. ''But it still overall downgrades the look.'' Meanwhile, there are also a few things you may wish to declutter from your wardrobe, including mainstream designer bags and wallets - and big brands like YSL are also a no-go. According to the expert, these ''really show the lack of personal taste and style if you need to rely on logos to look upscale''. How to look chic on a budget Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds. Don't ever spend on designer denim: River Island ''always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends''. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 - UK 18, and three leg lengths - and prices start from an affordable £25. There are no rules for jewels: ''Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.'' Don't forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there's no excuse for not buying - or selling - pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17. As well as carefully re-thinking your choice of bags, the guru also urged to ditch mega sparkly watches and ''any jewellery that is big and shiny''. Whatever you've spent on these accessories will end up looking like you've ordered it from the China-based marketplace Shein, she warned. Instead, Lady Blue advised to stick to more dainty items that look ''a lot more chic''. Last but certainly not least, you may wish to donate any T-shirts with brand logo on them - as you're essentially just advertising them ''for free''. ''I am all for the things that look chic and elevated but don't cost an obscene amount of money. ''I don't mind paying extra for the quality, the materials, for the pay for the workers. ''I will never overpay for the logos and the illusion of luxury.'' 'HUGE difference between old & new money' Since being uploaded on the platform under the username @ladyblue_official, the video has taken the internet by storm, winning the whizz more than 2million views. As over 108k people gave it a like, a further 651 flooded to comments to share their thoughts. One said: ''Ughh- the nails and the eyelashes!! YES!!'' Someone else chimed in: ''There's a HUGE difference between old and new money. ''I used to work in a luxury jewellers and the one thing I was always told was people with real wealth never feel like they have to be a walking billboard for brands.'' A third shared their brutal opinion on another viral trend, writing: ''Labubu on bags looks cheap too! Very classless.''

Their relationship seems stronger together if social media is anything to go by TOP PRIZE Inside Love Island's Tom Clare and Molly Smith's stunning holiday with huge pool and swanky restaurant that's all FREE FORMER Love Island stars Tom Clare and Molly Smith are currently on a luxury getaway in Marrakesh. The former ITV2 reality pair fell in love when they appeared in the first ever All Stars edition of the series in 2024. 7 Molly Smith and Tom Clare found love in the villa, and now they are abroad once again Credit: Rex 7 The duo enjoyed a luxury no expense spared trip to Morocco 7 The reality TV star showed off his impressive physique in the pool Over a year after being voted as the winners, their relationship is still going from strength to strength. Molly, 30, and Tom, 25, first jetted abroad to enjoy a stunning getaway at the Amalfi Coast in Italy at the beginning of August. They shared a series of romantic snaps from the balcony of their hotel as they enjoyed the summer months in Europe. Now, the pair have been treated to a luxury getaway to the Moroccan capital with an extended stay at the Nobu Marrakesh. Both of the duo shared behind-the-scenes snaps as they continued to make the most of the summer months at the five-star resort. Tom was seen flaunting his six pack and bulging muscles as he took a dip in the rooftop pool. He wore rose tinted sunglasses, dark swimming shorts and a necklace as he posed on the seat. Later, he posted a snap of Molly posing in a revealing white silk dress as they dined out at one of the hotel's restaurants. The duo were treated to identical plates of Nigiri sushi pieces at the world famous Japanese establishment. He captioned the snap: "If it's sushi I'm there." Inside Love Island star Tom Clare's boozy birthday bash with Love Island co-stars Molly later gave details of another meal as she posed with her boyfriend in a glam selfie. She wore a low-cut silk blue top as her hair was styled into thick waves while Tom showed off his chest in a cream vest. Molly captioned the snap: "Rooftop dinner with my love @tomclare," which was accompanied by a white heart emoji. She also explored the famous markets of the city as she beamed with a special gift from her tour guide. The Love Island was presented with a miniature golden elephant as she explored the sights and sounds of the exotic location. Later, the pair enjoyed a lavish poolside breakfast in the sun at the swanky hotel. She posted another snap onto her story where they ate cold meats and freshly made omelettes. Molly captioned the snap: "This morning's breakfast location, yes both them breakfast plates are for @tomclare," with a face of tears of joy emoji. All of the posts on both of their Instagram stories were accompanied with relevant tags. The accounts for Jet2holidays as well as the hotel's official profile were accompanied by the caption 'AD.' This suggested that the entire trip was given to the pair for free in return for advertisement on their accounts. How much would it have cost? The Nobu Hotel in Marrakesh is not cheap, according to rates given by the hotel's official website. At the time of writing, the cheapest room available in August - a Junior Suite - goes for MAD 4,800 (£392.98) a night. For those going for a more expensive option, the Premium Family Suite costs MAD 12,480 (£1,021.75) per day. According to Jet2, flights to Morocco from London Stansted could set you back up to £326 per person. 7 The pair dined out at expensive sushi restaurants on their tip 7 All their posts were accompanied with the caption 'AD' suggesting they were given the holiday for free 7 Molly soaked up the exotic sun before enjoying the sights that the city had to offer
