Thank you, Julia.. it certainly was perfect x

 

Lovely additions, Karen. I love the scent too.
We chopped our Euc down several years ago, we’d allowed it to grow way to big.

 

That's all you need Kate...looks very peaceful x

 

Lovely late spring flowers, very cheering. I’m still awaiting my Erigeron to bloom here, Karen.

 

Very attractive flowers, Andrew. So pleased you finally got them to bloom beautifully.

 

Second time in a week this has appeared!

 

They are lovely aren’t they, Shirley.
I’ve one in the front garden as part of a hedge and another in the back garden.

Kate,

My neighbor’s is bright red. This one in the pic is mine. I’m going to trade my neighbor mine for her bright red.

I typically like Crinum hybrids better than Hippeastrum because they bloom many times year-round. The flowers are very sweetly fragrant, also.

Balcony,

That’s great that your Amyrillis are doing so well. It’s typically an easy plant to grow.

This one isn’t mine, but I have many. I especially have many of the very large Epiphyllum oxypetalum which blooms several times a year, only at night, though. It can vine up to 30 ft or 10 m high, kind of like dragon fruit cactus which have even bigger flowers.

 

A colourful collection there Kate. Something for the bees to have a go at.

 

Lovely rose, Shirley. Everything is so early this year, and the colours seem so vibrant. We went to Allestree Park yesterday, and part of it is wooded. The birdsong was beautiful. The Swans had their cygnets on the lake, and the male Swan was all feathered up and very aggressive, keeping all the other birds away.

 

Behind it is my new Eucalyptus ‘Baby Blue’ which is a dwarf form of the florist’s Eucalyptus.

 

Looks like an interesting place Shirley. Lots of lovely pictures . I love all of them. A great variety of plants and views. Lovely place to visit.

Karen, I too loved the Astrantia with Geum planting.

David, thanks so much for your kind words and pleased you enjoyed the tour round.

Yes Julia, we do have a varied selection of places to visit in our retirement!

Ooh Grandad, were you successful with the espalier planting? The most well known event is the Chilli festival ... but that's definitely not for me!

Thank you, Balc ☺️

 

It is Thorneyside..I bought 5 of varying colours to edge the planter.

 

That must have been thrilling for you!

Thanks for the pictures & reminding me about the walled gardens, they were my favourite bit TBH
They gave me the inspiration to try my hand at training an apple Espalier style

They do hold various "fairs / festivals" there, ideal for enthusiasts & the curious.
I saw the Gardeners Word team filming during a Tomato festival

Like Shirley, took me about three goes to get photos for blog to load

I can understand why Hywell gave up

 

Yes, Old Vine is where I meant.
Lucky you, I've never been inside, it was always busy when I was looking for a lunchtime spot.

It looks like Gomphrena globosa. Fairly easy to grow annual.

On question - I saw this ?

 

I took the boat from São Jorge to Terciera (an almost all day trip) and there where dolphins following alongside us.

It holds up to rough weather, something the larger flowers don't do.

 

It has 8 buds. I wasn't sure I was going to like it since the style sticks out before it opens, but it is like having a soft orange rose.

 

It looks special too Karen. Lovely colours.
