Hi Zig

Is it wisteria or lilac ?

Spruce

 

Thanks Spruce!

 

Getting less weeds now the borders are fuller.

This area has changed a lot since we moved in. It was previously a tree stump covered in ivy surrounded by nettles. Now there are foxgloves, Delphs, acanthus, centaureas, heuchera, lysmachia, Leucanthemum, iris, aquilegia, violas, pansies, dianthus and roses.

I like the wallflowers and bluebells together with the Welsh poppies.

A few head shots.

 

Your borders are fantastic. I am so jealous

 

Had a wander round the garden in the evening sun. I loved the way the sun was backlighting this Honesty.

 

Rhododendron Wally Miller, I think.


Rhodo Solidarity, losing it's flowers quickly in the gales..


Fatsia jap Variegata.


Fatsia Spiders Web.


Acer Sango Kaku or now known as Senkaki.


Heucheras Melting Fire.


Marmalade.


Blackberry Jam.


Abutilon Megapotanicum.


Polemonium Stairway To Heaven.


Erysimum Pastel Patchwork.

 

My one remaining Rhododendron looking a bit sickly, but still flowering....

 

Was that there already Freddy or did it move with you?

 

It's approx 25 x 7 metres. The main bed is 8 x 7 metres plus the borders and a few other beds.
You'd hate it! No theme, just a mish mash of plants that I like!

That is stunning!

Mine bloomed too but I missed it as it was hidden behind my rather large Digitalis Illumination Pink. I expected the Digitalis to be a bit tender (as it's a hybrid with Isoplexis) but instead it is thriving.

 

Thank you so much, means a lot.

 

There's a lot of wonderful plants and photo's here again everyone!

 

I brought it with me when I moved last year. It was in a large pot, but now it's taking its chances in the ground.
