That's great chicky. I love auriculas - and quite fancy doing the whole theatre thing. Maybe when I eventually retire and I'm too decrepit to do hills, I can 'potter' at something like that all day!
I'd have to concrete that ladder in though - or it would blow away
Your garden is always lovely BL. I'm constantly amazed at how you keep it all maintained when you're always so busy with everything else.
The little matching pasqueflowers are getting somewhat outdone by Constance now
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Lovely pics everyone! I've finally got round to sorting out the pics I took a couple of weeks ago of my front garden. First time uploading pics too, so hope they work. The first one shows my "lawn" of Mind Your Own Business with fritillaries and anemone sylphide, then a view of the corner - I've since dug up a lot of the Japanese anemones and replaced them with some echium - and a closer shot of my dicentra which is still looking fab two weeks later.
Have just been out in the back garden and taken some more pics to share!
(1) Newly opened Hosta leaves, as yet unravaged by hordes of molluscs.
(2) Close up of an epimedium, dainty wee flowers just going over.
(3) Border with epimedium, a basal shoot of my enormous euphorbia melifera, white dicentra and some white bluebells (there's lucky!)
(4) my attempt at an arty shot of the white dicentra.
(5) Further along in the same border, more epimedium, arum italicum and some geranium macrorhizzum alba
(6) Johnny Jump Up violas - their jolly little faces have been cheering me up for about two months.
(7) The last flower on my camellia - I think the variety is "Debbie" - been flowering since end of January.
(8) Woodland anemones and pulmonaria "Trevi fountains" (must deadhead those!).
and finally (9) erysium "Bowles Mauve" flowering its socks off and (10) euphorbia melifera. These last two grow close together and the scents from both are heavenly.

I hadn't noticed probably because there are quite a few to be cut back here in one border which I want to revamp.

GG.
Fritillarias are lovely in that setting. You can't fault the anemone in terms of brightness.
