@Dovefromabove just searched for winged spindle and it is gorgeous. After reading the recent thread about rhus I realised it would be too much trouble to have in the garden. I wish winged spindle was less sprawling (garden is small) or I would have chosen it instead of sorbus olympic flame. Reading this forum is an education!
Well if we are talking fantasy, it would have to be French lavender and a lemon tree, both for looks and scent plus vital G&T ingredient of the latter. I may live in a Mediterranean country but in my northerly, mountain location I don’t have a Mediterranean climate.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
On the last thread I chose roses and clematis but in a fantasy world it would be bougainvillea and jasmine. I've sort of decided not to fly again and those are the two plants I will miss most from my trips to Turkey. I do grow jasmine but it doesn't have the same strong scent (probably due to the climate).
Only two? It's so hard to choose. I guess one would have to be a flamboyant tree (delonix regia) and possibly a coconut palm, or a banana that actually produces fruit, or a mango.
It's ok @wild edges, you can get ointment for it. If I could only have two, it would be difficult. Would need to be some evergreens so that I could have topiary, or a structure of some kind. Yew or holly perhaps. Then bulbs - does that count as one plant?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
