    oh, the clematis isn't usually that shape Lesley, not sure if it's closing up for the night.

    At the moment I'm having a white phase (I'll get over it) but I do love how the plants shine out when the sun goes down. I would swop my pink for your whiteimage

    It's Daniel Deronda ighten - but it's not as blue as that - it's quite purpley. The bluey purples all tend to come out very blue on my camera. Someone techie will probably know why!

    The white Lychnis are lovely. I have quite a few whites Lesley - brilliant for shady areas especially if you get some acid greens and variegated foliage in with them. A favourite of mine is the white broom (Cytisus praecox Album) - I used to have one at the front gate in a previous garden and it was lovely at dusk. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

     We all have different spaces we occupy - terraced - semi  - detached -  point is we make the most of what we have - joy and happy gardening - love all the different pictures.

    Thanks for the kind words about my jungle! My tree fern is the most expensive plant I've ever bought, £60 for a 9' truck. Its probably @ 90 years old, so I give it a lot of T.L.C!
