    When we moved to our cottage there was a beautiful philadelphus tree....is it called " mock orange " too? Anyway sadly it died & was near a fallen over dead apple tree! I would like another Philadelphus  but it is now where to put it as the once blank canvas of a country garden is no longer blank! It is my pride & joy & I am sure I  could squeeze one in somewhere.

    The old dead tree is still there but now supports clematis & bird feeders!

    yes TJ it's called mock orange. I'm sure you could find a spot for another one!

    Salino what I do is get a really big pot that I like and plant things in plastic pots that can sit inside it- you'll need some bricks or similar to get it to the right height - and then you can swap them round during the year. The pot stays where it is. image

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



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