Lovely garden Wintersong - love your wall of geums ! You have a really special knack of putting it all together. At the moment my mission is to fill my garden - in later years I will start moving it all round so that it "goes together" - or at least thats what I tell myself
Yes FG I much prefer growing lilies in pots to make that statement but overall I am greatly frustrated with the border and it will need a mass overhaul at the end of the year. I know what I want, just made some wrong choices this year and its all ended up a bit bitty.
chicky, you are very kind but really I am still learning as I go. It's taken me four years of obsessing so far because I can't do it on paper. I have to see it in action but I'm starting to catch on.
wintersong i love the rose arch it looks so pretty.i never get that many flowers on my roses mine are not even in flower yet.Fairy girl the dark irises are stunning they had some at Harlow carr when i visited last week. they are on my wanted list
I finally found my other Roscoeas. As usual I put the fork through them. Just emerging at the end of June- how ridiculous. Anyway I dug them up and repotted them so I will know where they are next year. I need them to bulk up a bit before I stick them in the ground again. TLC in the nursery area.
Summer has really arrived tastewise. I am having strawberries from my garden on my cereal. new potatoes for supper and tonight my very first Peach Marion.
Aliesh- these dark Irises are so sumptuous and velvety you feel you could eat them. Bev- just read your post - you're right - the pix just don't come anywhere near showing what they're like in the flesh. I tried altering the colour on here to get it nearer but I can't get it right at all- it's worse when it's sunny too. If you have a nursery anywhere near you it might be worth a trip. I try to avoid going too often- I can't afford it! I'd like some white ones now as well ..
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Thanks Bev, FG and chicky.

How delicious
