Sorry, not our garden but one we visited today. Can anyone name the lovely little yellow flower & also which clematis is this? The Wisteria had a fantastic trunk - the building had the date 1690 on it but I don't think the Wisteria was quite that old - do you? Any ideas of a name for the lovely little blue flowers, the leaves looked similar to bluebell leaves?
That looks very inviting and well organised Julie - what time do you open? Yes, I think you could be right regarding the yellow flower - it was perfect and so free flowering. I must look for a packet of the seeds at the G.C.
Thanks for the feedback - I think the Welsh poppy will be on my list of seeds for 2017. Here is the clematis - there was a huge variety of them - no space was left bare in borders or on walls. We thought the chimneys were pretty interesting too - sorry not a good picture of the clematis, but it was huge & covered with flowers.
Thanks for all the names - it was an interesting garden - we try to visit all that are open during the season - but missed the first which was overlooking one of the picturesque beaches overlooking the sea - friends said it was beautiful - watch this space....

Is the yellow flower a type of poppy? (with a very long tap root...)
Thanks for the nice, encouraging comments! Virtual tours can be organised but i'm afraid you'll have to sort out your own refreshments ?

Welsh poppy GD. They seed around. Meconopsis cambrica. The blue one is an allium - don't know which one I'm afraid.
I can't see a clematis....
That wisteria is so architectural isn't it?
Lovely pot of sempervivums Julie
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I think the blue flower is a dwarf allium, Guernsey.

The blue flower is a Scilla Peruviana, I have one. But the leaves are rather floppy, lovely flower though.

The garden being very gardenesque and the cat who doesn't care,
