Garden Snap Shots!

Best advice I was ever given is-‘shop for Wisteria in may Or June’, don’t let anyone tell you they will flower unless you see it, also check they’re grafted if not they can take 20yrs to establish🙁

On our travels this week, a visit to Arlington Court, a lovely Devon estate, Covid has done the NT a favour and they have left the grass to grow with mown paths to enjoy. Nice old Tulip tree close to the house. The walled gardens were looking good, easy to miss the little door into the second garden. The Ginger Lilies had a good scent.

(Back home our Wisteria has taken off! Thanks for advice!)

Some Autumn Brights! 🍁

I bought the dahlia recently, hope I can get it through the winter. This year they'll be dug up, I lost the previous ones leaving them in the ground. 🌱

The rust coloured ones look like Heleniums Brue ?

Yes HH they are, one big group of mixed colours. I'm going to divide them up next time around.

Some lovely shots since I last posted😁 I love this time of year, spider’s webs covered in dew, the gorgeous rusts and gold as leaves start to turn, fungi springing up everywhere, some last flurries of roses, and the Autumn bulbs. I planted some Nerine around 15 years ago. One has finally flowered this year😂

Morning photos.... Bishop Dahlias, York and Oxford, with Cosmos. My one and only Nerine😂. Fungi that has sprung up overnight on barked area. An unnamed rose....

That's strange TDA, we too only have one Nerrine in flower and we don't even know how it got there! It really is Autumn now, the last of the garden flowers on show. Veg are growing for the winter, having survived pigeons and caterpillars! 

The Savia Amisrad is still producing lots of flowers

Some Autumn colour from cuttings taken about 3 yrs back, and Hot Lips and Amstrad Salvia cuttings, can't believe how quick these have come on .
