Love this border.

Hmmmm - Russian vine? I had to spend two years eradicating this from a small patch of a garden in a previous home where it had become pretty much the sole occupant- not fond of it - I guess its different if you've a lot of space....If its not Russian Vine of course, the hairs on the back of my neck can lie down again!

Not so much a garden as a park! What a stunning feature this is; you must be so proud!

Thankyou! We love it though it is modest. More will surely follow.

They're beautiful! Tell hime that they develop a fab blue glow at the edges of the "spikes" that lasts ages; later the birds like the seeds. They can get a bit dominating, so ours are restricted in a raised bed by a hedge to limit their exuberance....so far so good!

Thanks! This was back in early May - I've been reviewing our garden photos today as a way of cheering myself that the mess that is currnetly our 'garden' will, one day, look lovely again. This is one of those and on finding this website, I've been enjoying getting some of the pics out here. I've another acer palmatum - bigger, and in the ground rather than a pot (which this one is for now).
