@marlorena because I’m still learning I have foolishly planted a tall geranium ( I didn’t realise there was such a thing as I have previously only had the ground cover types) in front of a Geum Mai tai and pretty much obscured it from view. One of them will have to be moved though I will probably leave it for autumn now. Which of them am I likely to have most success in moving ? I love the look of your borders.
You could move either, but I find Geum's don't last long in my garden, they look good for one season, and not so good the following year, and then dwindle away to nothing. I tend to buy them fresh each year if I want them to look their best. Even ones I've divided don't look as good as a fresh one bought in or sown. They have that reputation.
I actually had some rain here today, but not enough to really sink in that much.. Geranium 'Matt Frei'.. Aquilegia 'Blue Barlow'.. Griselinia 'Bantry Bay' in the background.. Anthemis 'Tinpenny Sparkle' soon be flowering by the looks of it.. ..Stipa gigantea, the Golden Oat, just starting to show.. Geranium 'Russell Prichard'.. Allium 'Mt. Everest'.. opening up..
Nemesia 'Wisley Vanilla'.. over wintered.. [covers up a washing line point].. Parahebe 'Porlock'.. first flowers on this shrubby evergreen for frontal positions.. Helianthemum 'Supreme'.. Berberis 'Bagatelle'.. at its best I think.. Geranium 'Biokovo'.. Aquilegia 'Yellow Queen'..
oh wow Daisy @daisym I love your rockery and that Oxalis is a real beauty isn't it, with the green centre. If I see one I'm getting it.. thanks so much..
