That lilac is amazing DavidK. Great photo too. The lilac looks like a shrub rather than a tree. Is it a special type of lilac or is it just that you are looking down on it?
I love seeing walls where plants have accidentally taken root Ighten. The contrast between stone/rock and plants is magical. The view from where the photo was taken looks fantastic. Where is it?

Here we go, can't get the cursor to flash outside of the quote box.
Thanks, Gilly......not sure about the parentage of it. It is quite large though...see the top of their greenhouse in the bottom left corner.
Berghill - lovely, lovely, lovely - who needs TV when you can watch slideshows like that. All gorgeous, but particularly the camassias and that dark red peony.
And is the white flowered shrub a viburnum plicatum? And did i spot a bells bank geum towards the end??
Missed you there Lizzie - lovely to see Cecille Brunner - mine's a few weeks away yet. And Shropshire Lad is another of my favourites - lovely scent to go with those gorgeous blooms

I could even name some of the flowers........if I really tried. If not I am sure Nutcutlet can do it for me.
To click on Berghill's link is like wandering into a garden wonderland. Superb.
