Don't you just love it when a "plan" comes to fruition.
I loved that reclamation yard too.

Yes it will be interesting to see it end of summer attractive but lonely is how it looks to me now.
Your idea of roses and clematis sounds lovely but were we to have a hot dry summer it will take some keeping cool and moist,think if I had carried out the project I would have used a liner inside to reduce evaporation,how large is it across the top ? looks about 2ft in the pic

What a fascinating journey Spritz, thanksfor sharing ?

The reclamation yard looks full of interesting things, I think you chose perfectly for the position, lots of hard work and cups of tea I'm sure.....
Look forward to seeing the vision in flower xxx

True. I was just having a browse through some members photos.

If anybody's still interested after 6 years, the butterfly is not rare and is a Gatekeeper. We get them sometimes around here. Its a lovely photo - so hard to catch butterflies on camera as they seem to know and fly off at the crucial moment...

Lovely to see so many red flowers! Like others I find it amazing the number of different shades of "red" going from almost orange to almost black! Roses & Dahlias are among two species of plant that immediately spring to mind that have so many shades of red!

don't know how I missed this but as usual a stunner of a blog with matching pictures.

very, very beautiful :-)

All very cheerful and warming. Isn't that Crocosmia 'Lucifer' pretty. There are lots of them growing wild on the ditches here but orange in colour as the wild type I suspect. My mission in the Spring is to get some of the red and other colours and create some variety.

Ha, I agree, there are several different shades of Red. I planted Red Riding Hood Tulips this Fall.

I love a splash of red in the garden. Took some images once of our azaleas in the snow. Nice contrast.

You have a lovely variety of plants there, Spritz.

A great selection Spritz. I don't usually care for Echinaceas but that one's a beauty. The dahlia looks as if its about to start waving its tentacles like a sea anemone doesn't it?! All very cheering on an incredibly windy day.

The sunlight on the poppy makes such a lovely photo. We need 'Red' at this time of year to brighten up the greyness! Thanks for doing this!

Yes, I agree with DD, you are missed, along with your inspiration, knowledge and beautiful garden pictures. I often refer to your blogs saved in my favourites for ideas :-) PLEASE make regular visits.

Good to see you Spritz, you are missed, and so are your photographs of that beautiful garden.......great blog.....cheered me up?????
