    PS tried to grow Polemonium 'Brise d'Anjou' once. It soon became 'Cadavre d'Anjou'.

    Don't know what the orange and yellow flowers are but they look nice.
    My rampant sage bushes in flower and weigela?




    There are some really great quality photos on here and the plants aren't bad either.:lollol:

    Hi Louise,

    Yes, our garden will be open this weekend - Bank Holiday Saturday and Sunday. Here is the thread that I posted making a special invitation to GC members :gnthb:

    http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/special-invite-forum-members-garden-open-t26348.html

    At he bottom of the first post on there I put a link to the thread that showed a preview of the garden a couple of years ago. :)

    GeorgeBean - your pictures are superb.

    Wonderful photos everyone, I've enjoyed sitting here enjoying every one of them, thanks for sharing.

    Shiney, Good Luck with your Open Garden this weekend. I'll go through your thread again and at least be with you like that.

    May has certainly been bringing the flowers and colour out ... here's a couple of mine that should last through the summer without rain ....

    All the best for the Open Garden, Shiney, and like Sis it's a shame we can't be there but look forward to seeing the photos of your beautiful garden and GC members who will be able to join you. xx
