Those are beautiful. I love a garden full of flowers. Unfortunately, this year DH (he's the gardener here), has opted for a shrub border and patio pots. I have no flowers yet, as he has only just planted up the pots. There is plenty of variety where the shrubs are concerned, but they haven't any flowers.
?? Yes, the white rose has a lovely scent - and it seems to be doing well so far this year - it was a bit swamped last year by a thuggish shrub that I’ve taken out.
I think it was Maw who said that blooming peonies bring on the rain. It's also true that fallen petals on the patio look lovely, unless it's my patio where they just look flipping messy!
How lovely! My late MIL always used to take me into their garden when we were about to leave and cut me a beautiful bunch of flowers. Even when she lost her sight she still grew wonderful plants. She hated having cut flowers in her own house though bizarrely.
I have lots of Alstromeria but they have been moved about when we were filling the raised bed and now all seem to be yellow. I used to have red ones before I got the garden sorted out.
I have some more plants in odd pots about the garden and I am hoping they will be red.
Sallyann1.....I think I see: roses, geranium, alchemilla mollis, possibly fluffy fennel leaves, but I have forgotten the name of the blue flower! Have I missed anything out?
Looks lovely by the way......have a bunch from Gransnet !!!
Well, I like gardening, •JustALaugh•, though I’m not sure I consider myself a ‘good’ gardener! I love a busy, cottage garden look, so I pack lots in. And I love picking flowers for indoors, so I try and have something flowering (or lovely leaves) all the time.
Sallyann1....Eye spy with my little eye...…..blue Iris, Love in a mist, pink Gladioli, Alchemilla Mollis, Crains bill? and maybe pink corn flower? Not too sure!
