Just lovely@Marlorena, it feels like a very light romantic feel in your garden this year. Do you feel it is very different to last year or is it because your new camera is giving us brighter photos as well as your new border being less mature?
Just because I think of this as a project between us I'll post them here, you walked me through the steps a year ago, I kept the instructions. Alexandre Girault has found the trunk and seems to know what to do!
@Tack ..thanks so much. yes my camera takes a better photo than before I think.. more true to life..
.. your rose is doing well, it will use its thorns to hook onto that trunk, but I probably said before, you will need to tie some string around the trunk to hold that in place, and when those flowers are finished, it will send up numerous long canes from the base, all of which should be aimed towards the trunk and tied in.. maybe that's what you've got written down..
..must be a big tree.. I'm surprised it gets waterlogged there..
I think what you also have alongside an obviously beautiful garden, is the ability to show that through your photography. Each photo I've noticed is very well composed and so shows the garden at it's best from every angle, which is not easy in 'busy' surroundings. You have what they say, 'a photographer's eye'.
.. by the way, do you still have 'Windflower'?. mine is in bud but it's so awfully late to start flowering.. very unusual for an Austin.. I think it might be early July before I see any real blooms ...
I have...but, it's one I dug up from an over crowded border during the Autumn and potted it up, and forgot to label it...but it is definitely in bud, because I have three others potted up with no ID, and they are all in bud. So it's just a question of waiting 'til they open to ID them.

OR... the garden is beautiful from all angle anyways.. so however you take it, it still looks awesome...
I really like the 'busy' look in a garden, I don't find it overwhelming at all. It's luxurious to be surrounded by plants and scents, colour and insects.
I've sometimes said that 'Bathsheba' does not look great after heavy rain.. but I should take that back because it's held up pretty well.. 'Tottering by Gently'.. 'Wild Blue Yonder'...
I continue to be impressed with this 'Crazy In Love'.. to retain this purity after such rain is quite something..
