I have a lovely mauve hibiscous at the moment. Also a lovely hrub with yellow/lime green leaves and great purple flowers which the honeybees adore. I forget its name though.
Verdun instead I shall enjoy the beauty of your garden
Bizzie b my OH goes nuts as we have non existent patch of grass now but lovely deep border
Lilylouise what a beauty, very unusual
Snowathlete sounds really lovely, shame no pic?
They are all amazing....I came across a poem dedicated to the Gardeners... I thought its worth sharing:-
The Glory of the Garden....by Rudyard Kipling
Our England is a garden that is full of stately views,
Of borders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues,
With statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by;
But the Glory of the Garden lies in more than sets the eye.
For where the old thick laurels grow, along the thin red wall,
You'll find the tool and potting-sheds which are the heart of all,
The cold frames and the hot-houses the dung-pits and the tanks,
The rollers, cats, and drain-pipes with the barrows and the planks......
This poem is written in the 1800's goes on for a few good verses totally recommend
the reading of the whole thing. Everybody enjoy your Garden the closest place to heaven.
Oops spelling error. not cars CARTS.
oops no ...not cats or cars....CARTS!
Just googled the whole of it
Here is Agapanthus with the convulvulus that Verdun recommended last year. Thank you for that Verdun, I love it
Peppers...
San marzano Toms...
A rather shy Aubergine.
