Each to their own, I like pastel colours, but with some hot ones sprinkled in like adding a touch of pepper. I like beige limestoney sort of bathrooms!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I love bright colours like you Fairygirl. I got some hot pink Dianthus reduced from £3.99 to £1 the other day in cut price part of GC- sure they must be like yours about to flower
As promised, couple of pics taken on my phone, not great quality especially taken at night.
This is part of the window planter i made
again not very clear, this is the raised bed which has exploded into action excluding the gap which is a failed crop of garlic, ive also planted things way to close (at the far end) as my dad keeps pointing out to me!
Singy, I plant garlic in the autumn, perhaps that could work for you; love the flower pic at night.
Top; flax, my camera doesn't do blue very well, but it is very intense. A clematis whose name I don't know, probably bought cheap at Wilkinson's or similar.
artjak, I didmt make the raisedbed until April so couldnt plant until then, i started some inside last week which are going out instead, might be too late but ill give it a try.
A few more pics.
this was the garden in autumn last year when i bought the house.
wow.. took some reading but glad it did.. super super pictures everyone..
wintersong.. your arty ones are gorgeous.. really love pictures of plants that are close up and personal.. and please do let us see yr paintings.. i have not painted for years.. used to do cartoons for the mags and papers.. but not for a long time now.
the warm weather is really bringing everything to life in the garden now.. everything starting to catch up.. thou i have not had many bees this year at all.. little concerned is it because everthing is running late?
i will endeavour to take soem more pics today and get them added soon. but keep adding love them
Summer has well and truly arrived at the Bristol University Botanic Garden and here are
some pics I took this morning. That is Ferruls communis at the bottom. The blue iris close-up is Iris siberica "Cambridge" and the pink peony is Peony suffricosa.

I think this colour thing deserves a thread of its' own

raised bed and window planter
Oh and cant leave out the spuds, these seem to have grown overnight.
Great space! The borrowed scenery doesn't look too bad either.
