I am a little concerned by the Castlewellan leylandii I can see in the foreground seeing that the garden is so small. Or is it growing in your neighbour's garden?
If it is yours then start clipping all round close to the stem soon before you have a monster taking over all the lovely features you have there already.

WOW I love that colour

I have Brugmansia only about 2 ft tall yet Mine will be a double white when it grows big enough to flower . Yours are so lovely .

That is a glorious bloom

Love your winding path in your lovely garden Chris and Welcome to GOY Simplicity.

you cannot beat the blues they rock

love your garden so neat & tidy :o)

Wow, what great colours!!

just gorgeous!

Wow, gorgeous!!!!!

I used to grow these when I had the space. They went into the heated greenhouse in the winter and out into the garden in the summer. I fed them every fortnight with Phostrogen and they flowered profusely. The sap is an irritant if you have sensitive skin so make sure you wash your hands after handling the plant. The cuttings are easy to take about August -September time. I always cut the dead heads off after flowering.

I think there's a giant snake in your garden!!

mine didn't flower this year....and they never went that deep blue. Can I have some seed please? x

very nice!!! xx

That is such a clever idea, crocuses in a pot where the rain will not get to them & destroy them so fast. Thanks CP, a great idea & lovely photo.
