  • I wasn't too sure i liked how the garden appears at present,..for the first time there are several 'Voodoo Lily',..plants with full foliage to be seen also a huge 'Arum Lily',..the impact is BIG LEAVES,..its different i admit,..but do i want to change a Cottage Garden into a Tropical looking garden?,..see what i mean below.



    Arum Lily.

    OK as a landing area for Butterflies of course.

        A little more colour,..Tigridia pavonia are coming in bloom more frequent.





  • An Internet friend of mine who lives in Australia visits many Countries,..one of the most awesome videos she made was while in New Zealand,..this was five years ago and i am still spellbound by the sight of so many Wild Lupins,..take a look at this.

    The wide range of colours..........she must have been totally awestruck when she saw them......magnificent!  Nature at her best
  • Fabulous!  Yes your garden is definitely verging on tropical Philip 😁😁
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
  • Thank you everybody for all your nice comments,..i mentioned that i was spellbound when i first viewed all those blooms,.. and such colours,..at the time i had just two Lupine and the intention was to have many more,..i gave up the idea after seeing so many lol.

    @Valley Gardener ,..aha i am convince now,..lets see what nature decides when we go through Autumn and Winter,..they might all die off.
  • There is a path between those tall containers.
