Will look those up Obelixx, I like white flowers, I do have colours but mainly white with soft pinks or the odd pale yellow rose. Or of course daffs in spring. Am looking to get some ornamental grasses which are a deep pink but prob the wrong time of yesr now. I am now also rambling on z hydranga thread sorry
I just bought a couple of white, oak leaf hydrangeas which have beautiful foliage colour just now. There's a house near my old one with a big sloping,shady front garden and it's full of what looks like Hydrangea 'Limelight'. They just glow - a great big wad of them! I should try and get a pic of them if I'm near there soon. Very attractive greeny/white flowers- it's a paniculata type. Did consider it for my shady borders. May get one as a specimen.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Verdun - too soon to say. Phantom and Pinky Winky were only bought and planted a couple of weeks ago so I don't yet know how they do in our winters. Vanille Fraise is doing very well and so is Mega Mindy, both planted last autumn.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
An update, just in case. Vanille Fraise has coped with the gales a lot better than Mega Mindy which is now looking distinctly naked and sad. VF still has flower heads but not a lot of foliage any more. T'other pair have only been in 3 weeks but still have flrower heads depsite being blasted by the winds and rain.
All 4 have a distinct lean now so have been given a stake and a support ring to prevent further lean and root rock. They will be pruned back to shape next spring, after the worst of the frosts is over.
