I sincerely thank you all for your more than generous comments and kind words. It is so nice of you to say such nice things. Yes Toni it is indeed the Crocosmia 'Lucifer'. If you like it now...just wait until it is at it's peak of blooming...it's like a veritable bonfire in the garden. Well EJ, she has been threatening to cut an armfull of phloxes. She may well do this weekend...in between the harvesting of veg.
Wow! That is a beautiful garden! It must be hard to leave it. Your butterfly bush is gorgeous and HUGE. I thought mine was big - it's about 7 - 8 feet tall. It was at the peak of its bloom around mid May - but did I think to take a picture? NO! Oh well, maybe next year. Thanks for sharing those beautiful photos.
I'm speechless Sjoerd. Your garden is more beautiful each time you post a picture. Lucifer has been on my "must have" list for a couple of years now.
It seems that everytime some piccies of your garden gets posted I am in awe. It is simply beautiful. Your partner certainly took some good photos. You are my gardenhero.
