that looks great! i love the turquoise!

Thank you joannie, it's in need of good trim and tidy now, so much rain its all gone wild!! (not the dog the garden hehe!)

thanx, i got 2 lavenders one is doin fab,very vibrant deep purple, but the other seems to have died off in the middle, i have some winter flowering cyclamin under the willow they have started to come through. i think some bulbs around the magnolia would be good.

very vivid! they look great!

they reminded me of the guinness race advert!

alpine spar.. it's a mix of white, charcoal grey, a amber/terracotta

thank you. tis a wonderful site!! fabulous people and such beautiful gardens to look at!! ;-)

good idea!!

he was around for ages on my lavenders!

thank you, although it's agapanthus cant remember the name of this one but it standa around 3'+. this is it's 3rd summer and has gone from 3 stems to about 25!

i had some stunning daliahs by the agapanthus, but they totally took over, and due to my inexperience i managed to... erm destroy them. i have a lovely deep red rose that needs repositioning, but thats about all, any suggestions for low maintenance plants would be appreciated

dont think i do? i'll have a check throug tho. it is a lovely one, deep pink buds then a much paler pink flower, got had by the frost again this year tho. :-(

yes it is... looks lovely against the fern although they do get in the way a bit! never realised how quick they spread, i didn't think that one through too well. will have to thin them out a bit i think!

thank you irish

looks like it!! he was resident at the taverna we frequented... they were everywhere!

i know what you mean, i got 3 big ones at the back by my woodland area... they start to take over, i just comb them out and hair cut in spring!

they look great. white pebbles look wonderful with the black brick and greens in the grasses

your garden is stunning, wish i had more room...

that is an awesome border! i love it

thank you ;~)

the leaf/flower part looks like litte clouds... we liked them. be nice to get them like this here!!

i think it's a 35ltr... they are terrazzo, most garden centres sell them in various designs. wyvale and hilliers sell a few, haskins have a fair collection too

theres a bit more now, I love old tree root and stumps.There's winter flowering cyclamen under the willow for some colour later on.

thank you... and yes he is!

its the flower from an aloe plant in spain, lit up with a tourch. was 30ish feet tall

only put in april, had over 200 blooms so far and is still full of buds! very pleased with my "sweet dreams"

was on hols in spain

its a bit dark but it is the flower from what we thought was aloe, it looked stunning under lit in the original photo

If i could figure how to reduce the photo size i would post my night time photos of the ones we saw in spain this year!
