Apart from primroses, are there any finer wildflowers than aquilegia? I ‘weed’ scores every year but they pop up all over the garden and never look out of place
@Guernsey Donkey2 They're very similar arent they? I saw some TT in the garden centre today and they look similar but i like the idea of it being Orange Queen.. I probably would have chosen that one for its name. That being said, i bought one called cooky today. The one called baked bean would need to be awful special though!
A few of my spring favourites from the back garden.
Photographed underneath Acer palmatum Bloodgood. The colour always looks really intense when the sun is shining through it. I'm trying to make a little den under there for my grandchildren (not having a great deal of success).
I have Geum Cooky (both photos) B3, it is very similar although smaller than Orange Queen. I love the Acer Bloodgood Catherine 164 - the colour in sunlight is amazing.
Fab pics everyone, that ceanothis is spectacular @Picidae.
@ImpatientGardener, on the last pic of the four I posted? The one in the foreground is Berberis Orange Rocket, small, upright shrub, group of three there. A weird orangy pink but it does dazzle in the sun. Single, taller one in the far background is B. Red Rocket which is more plum tones.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
