SOME FLOWERS IN THE GARDEN


This Acanthus Mollis has been in the garden for a few years and this only the second time that it's flowered so well.


Verbena Bonariensis


One of our new rambling roses in flower.


Another new rambler flowering along with an beautiful pink Achillea.


Paul added a couple of orange and tangerine coloured Kniphofia's to his tropical area and I think they do add a little zing.



The Phormium Yellow Wave is in flower.



a closer view of the flower. We plan to move this in the autumn over to the tropical area and move the rose that's on the right hand side in that area to here.

The damp area is coming into it's own with lots of leaf and flower.


The Ligularia's which we split at the beginning of the year and still quite small but will get bigger next year.
this one with the bigger flowers is Ligularia Przewalskii


and the tall slimmer petalled one is The Rocket. We also have Ligularia Desdemona which is not yet in flower which is more like an orange daisy flower.


Since this photo was taken the Agapanthus flower buds are starting to open, so hopefully I'll be able to show a photo soon of them all in flower!

  1. I planted Acanthus Mollis in our garden this spring, and it flowered well, though it was short.
    Your garden looks so stunning with so many beautiful flowers.
