My Cottage Garden,..glengarry23.

So far it appears there will be only two colours,..Purples and yellows.

Rose ( Rosa 'Casino' )



Just coming into bloom is Rose ( Rosa 'Sunsprite' ),..ends up as a Peachy.



At the walls,..plants between the stones are sown in old socks with lots of soil.

 

We have Wild Lupins here, only Yellow and Purple, but I never had any luck with them.
Love that Sunsprite Rose, love your garden, it is what I would like if I didn't live in the heat.

 

@Victoria ,..i counted my Lupin blooms today,..11 yellow and 10 purple so no luck this year with a new cross colour,..it took some time for the Lupins to establish themselves in my garden so you are not alone with not having luck with them,..here its those very small snails that attack them,..luckily i have rid my garden of them for this year.

Ah yes living in the heat is hard to beat so not having a Cottage Garden like mine can be overlooked very easy,..i would take the heat ,..having said that we are having a few scorcher days here and containers need watering each evening,..this is how some of the garden looks now.

Campanula portenschlagiana is blooming very well now,..Lupins and Delphiniums competing for height and Chilean Lantern Tree glowing red with Lanterns.

 

Such a change in the garden within just a few days.

Cranesbill Geraniums.












Campanula.

 

Rose ( Rosa ' Peachy Sorbet Melt ' ),..in bloom at the back of the garden.






Rose ( Rosa 'Handel' )






Rose ( Rosa ' Sunsprite ' )



Resembles Rose ( Rosa 'Handel' ) this was given to me some years ago and was wrongly tagged.



A mixture of roses.

 

They're lovely Philip!

 

@Sheal ,..thank you,..some more images,..the purple Lupins are fading slightly and the yellow ones are showing even more blooms,..Delphiniums are also going through a change as more and more of the light blues are taking over.

 

Your garden is just stunning Philip. Keep up the good work it really shows that you care for it

 

Thanks KFF,..blooms are appearing faster than i can spot them but the bonus is the scent,..loving it,..not so from the culprit below,..' Voodoo Lily ',..i keep most of these at the back of the garden,..when the blooms are finished i use the foliage which is impressive,..the bloom smell like rotten meat or worse

 

Some years back a friend gave me the rose bush below,..it was tagged ' Patio Rose ' and nothing more.

Behind it can be seen another No Id Rose.






To the right side of the image below is a Lavatera ' Barnsley Baby ',..just coming into bloom,..this is a Tree Mallow,..its bloom below.

I have six of these Arum Lily plants they vary in size only due to location.



The above Arum is at the back of the image below.



Aloe Arborescens 'Candelabra'.



Hosta Bloom.



Geraniums.



Hydrangea just coming into bloom.

Just in bloom,..Cape Fuchsia 'Phygelius Funfare Orange'.









Rose ( Rosa 'Korresia' )



This bloom from a cutting has retained some traces of red which usually only appears at the beginning of its bloom.



Arum Lily.



Hydrangeas under the window beginning to show colours.

 

The Lily section has started to produce some blooms.








A dog could get lost on these paths.

 

One might get the impression this group of Roses from,.. ( Rosa 'Korresia' ) was arranged by hand.


Here they are with companions.



Voodoo Lily.



Beautiful looking bloom,..smells so bad that it attracts Flies.



Lavatera 'Barnsley Baby'.



Rose ( Rosa 'Handel' )



A No ID Rose.

 

Lovely flowers Philip. I've had my eye on Lavatera 'Barnsley Baby' for a while now. What sort of height and spread does it have please?
