    There has been quite ab bit of cleaning up in the flower garden, but it isn't anywherer near complete. You see, there is a veriatable sea of forget-me-nots in bloom at the moment and my partner doesn't want to loose them just yet. I have already removed an enormous amount of them...and they are quite lovely to see, I must admit.
    Let me show a few fotos now;
    The Ceanotis bush that was in reality a tree!

    Clean-up debris of very pernicious plants. They are on the tarp to dry out, then they will be taken home and put in the green containers for the veggie waste pick-up.

    Here is the side of the new flower plot. One side of the path is planted, the other isn't yet.

    I have planted some Corydalis elata here infront of the old roofing tile. The tile is to protect the base of a Clematis.

    These Soloman's Seals are growing like mad, in spite of their more-or-less open place.

    My partner's little clump of Euphorbia. They have done very well growing from a plant with two small stems:

    The very firse Dagkoekoekbloom (Silene dioica syn. Melandrium rubrum)

    Finally a general view of the central portion of the flower garden.

    I hope that you didn't find this too many at once.

    Looking good Sjoerd! I love the Ceanotis blooms. And one can never have enough forget-me-nots!

    I'm amazed at just how much you have achieved in the flower garden Sjoerd when you also have the veggie plot to contend with!! Your ceanothus is beautiful. I think the forget me nots look lovely but know how invasive they can be as I have to pull clump after clump up from my own garden. Thank you for the tour around your garden. :stew1:

    It's all lovely, even the weed drying there. :D Can't help but snicker at your Euphorbia. My husband wanted one too, and now we keep pulling it up where it's not wanted. Those forget-me-nots look like a little piece of sea in your garden. Thanks for sharing.
