My Cottage Garden,..glengarry23.

@Victoria

Yikes expensive price to me,..seeing i never purchase plants,..mine are all from wee cuttings and i mean small enough to fit into a shirt pocket,..i visit a place that has several Hebe so i always come away with one or two cuttings.

I can never describe the colour of the leaf on any of my Hebe,..every time my eye catches sight of them they have changed colour as do the blooms,..a few examples below but there is also a time when after they have fully bloomed and are still in full bloom an addition white bloom appears in the main bloom,..a white spotted addition though i don't have an image of that on hand,..just the ones below.

When i am taking cuttings i will keep you in mind if you want one

The first 5 images are of the same plant.















There is a time,..in Winter when the above Hebe has dark Purple foliage.

3 images below are all of the same species.









Another species below.

 

Thanks ARMANDII,..i notice you also have the ''eye'',..Riff Raff and Cavalry Squadrons use sights

 

T'other Half forbids me from doing that.

They are stunning Philip. I love the mix of pots and rocks, so eclectic. I am trying to create such a look as near as possible as I can in the Front of House Patio. Your garden/choice of plants, and that of @AMANDII are the two on the top of my list.

Yes, please! I am okay with cuttings, useless with seed.

Hellebore still trying to come in full bloom.


















Cotoneaster dameri



Amaryllis also coming into bloom.

 

Those Hellebores are a lovely colour.

 

@Victoria ,..thank you,..as always i am impatient and wishing they were in full bloom,..soon methinks.

I am feeding something in the garden which i have not sighted yet,..it must come out at night,..so thinking Hedgehog comes first,..though i think its too cold for them to come out of hibernation .

What ever it or they are lives under the worktops in my work area,.. along the edge of my shed.

That's food i left out,..nuts and bread.

 

Oooh how exciting Philip, I agree with you though that initial thinking would be that it's too cold for the ' hogs' , but you never know. You should get a night vision camera rigged up, that would be so interesting!!
I have often wished that we had one especially after it's snowed, you get to see so many interesting prints left behind in the morning. It would be amazing to see who visits us each night.

 

@Upsydaisy ,..

I would love to set up a night vision camera,..you have given me the urge to get one

I do have Hedgehogs,..they used to hibernate inside my shed,..when they had youngsters they moved into the garden next door which is overgrown,..one of mine below.



Em the deck brush was a test,..they did investigate it lol.

 

Aww how lovely!! I've never seen any in our garden , mind you I don't actively go looking to be honest but our neighbours say they've seen them and as I said we see lots of footprints in the snow. What food do you leave out, I heard it said that cat food is good?

 

Mine love the dried cat food,..i place it just outside the back door so i will hear them crunching the food,..then to take a picture i just stick my camera out and they just ignore the flash.

 

Just 55 seconds long,..listen to the noise when Hedgehog is eating,..that's my brown shoe that appears bottom of the screen.

Oh my gosh!!!! How tame!! I always thought they were timid creatures. Yours is so friendly and seems happy and contented in not only your company but in the gorgeous kitties too!
Did they ever try to catch it??
