    GD - lovely to see your harebells. They're brilliant aren't they?  image

    Mine are still going too, and hopefully seeding around more. 

    I love that pic Joyce. The colour's great just now. I've always wanted Luteum, and never got round to it. There's a bank of them in a house near me, and I loved walking past them every day when I took the girls to Playgroup at the church. The scent is beautiful.

    Loads of blossom on that Pat! 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hi Fairy. Yes I couldn’t resist getting a photo. I assume it’s Malus floribunda. It looks a bit like mine.image

    Love the crab apple blossom. 

    I suppose the 'opposite' of blossom and new growth is the Autumn colour change and shedding of leaves. I have a large Fig which is such a contrast to all the other foiliage shapes in the garden, and this is particularly true in early Autumn when the yellowing-leaves stand out even more. I think it looks alien, prehistoric and almost artificial - in a good way.

    I love figs as well. Do you get much fruit from it?

    I love figs but unfortunately this is a Capri Fig, so only the birds enjoy those. I inherited it with the house/garden so although it's a shame there are no edible fruits, I still value it for the architectural foliage.

    Would love it if I was fifty years younger. . . . . 

    Will you be able to take your auriculas with you?

    Very definitely, the Auriculas go with us.As do the Pleiones and the collection of Silver Saxifrages.
