It suddenly struck my partner how pretty the flowers were in the flower garden, so she said that she was going to take some pics. Here is a selection. I hope you like them as much as I do. Actually it's amazing that they turned-out so well, because the lighting was really bad that day. Overcast and yet very sharp light.
WOW look at those glorious hollyhocks and those scarlet lucifers!! Oh I soooo want to wander around your garden, sniffing, touching and drinking in all that beauty. :-D
What a gorgeous place....I love the curved path and the butterfly bush is so--------------big and beautiful. I just planted one this spring but ours do not get anywhere close to that size here. I have to cut it back in the spring they say...such a beautiful area with so many different plants...Keep those pictures coming Sjoerd....Sherry
Well Sherry, some Buddleia's are shortish--it's in their genes. others can get quite tall, as you can see. To get the best out of your bush is a question of pruning. First you decide how you want your bush to look: tall short wide or narrow. Then you prune it soi tht it will take on that shape. Which one do you have? Do you have a pic?
It's a paradise, Sjoerd. I could spend all day just sitting and wandering through that maze of gorgeousness. Thanks so much for the tour. Gardengater
Lovely! Our Lucifers start in a couple of months' time, but the Phlox isn't that far off. Those arches are so perfectly placed, I want to stroll through them. Our butterfly bush freezes back a lot every winter, so we never know how big it will be in summer.
I really have to stop looking at the photos of your garden Sjoerd, it is so beautiful and makes me so jealous. But I do keep looking because it is so beautiful. The Lucifer is a Crocosmia, isn't it? My 'Emily McKenzie' hasn't bloomed yet but the leaves are looking good.
Ohhh so beautiful! Your partner has wonderful sight. And really knows what looks great, but then the whole garden is great, i would have so much trouble finding just one little section to photograph. Beautiful!!
Stunning garden, I wish I could spirit myself there and sit for a little while. Such beautiful flowers and it looks so peaceful.
Agree with everyone. It is stunning and so much colour. As I said before, I hope you partner takes armfuls of flowers home with her.
