After The Rains Had Gone

I loved my visit to your garden Carole but then I always do , your Golden showers is the star of the show I know how fond you are of it ,it gives a grand show every year :o)

A very happy mingle! Aren't those poppies fabulous? mdo you know the variety of geranium behind the pond? its a wonderful deep blue.

All looking lovely Carole....

So lovely to see after the rain. Unfortunately it washed out my poppies but we did get rather a lot of rain. lol. All dried out again now. Just muddy plants left hoping that they survive. Need sunshine and it looks like today and tomorrow we are going to be ok. Lovely to see your colourful borders again Pansy, I too love lots of colours mingling in together. :O)

Oh yes I love a wander around your lovely garden Pansy and your happy mingles are a treat to see, my mingles are a bit crowded at the mo but at least it keeps the weeds at bay...

I always enjoy a stroll round your garden carole you have so much of interest to see especially your mixes and mingles. Hows Robins plum tree doing, well I hope.

Thanks Amy pleased you enjoyed your visit, what a shame I wasnt around to greet you! Golden showers is definately a star I love it;0)

Thanks Sterogram, the poppies were Fabulous but Im afraid they have all gone now with the rain! I will try and see if I can get the name of the Gerainium it is a lovely one;0)

Thanks Holly, I have just spent the whole day trying to
cut plants back, its getting very hard work these days!

Thanks Olive the rain has washed my Poppies away too, so sad will have to wait another year to see them again! Hope your plants survive;0))

Thanks Lincs my borders are very full too I really am going to have to take more control next year so I wont have to work so hard and can sit back and enjoy it all more;0)

Thanks Phyliss pleased you enjoyed your wander, Robins Plum Tree is putting on lots of growth and is looking very healthy thankyou for remembering ;0))

Looking fabulous as usual,Carole..shame those lovely poppies don't last long,especially in the heavy rain we have had..The 'Ladies Mantle' you gave me,is just coming into flower too..looking very nice too.:o) love your pond area..a great mingle..and about you taking it easy next year? I'll believe it when I see it ! Lol xx

Thanks for showing us around your lovely garden Carole. It's very colourful and interesting.
I can't remember sending you the Astrantia, but I must have done if you say so lol ... my memory is hopeless.

The one you called Sedum and hope I can ID for you is a Sempervivum arachnoideum. There are different varieties but I'm not very well up on them sorry.
The top one looks like it's flowering :o)

Don't you just love it when a mingle really does mingle and look so good!
Your garden is looking wonderful and agree it's always good to get out after the rain, the garden takes on an entirely different dimension.

Thank you for allowing me to visit Carole, and I'm so glad you did, your garden is beautiful and in 'blooming' health. Sorry, I couldn't resist that. ;)

Thanks Sandra I am shattered tonight after spending the whole day cutting back, so I am reallyy going to try and make the garden more easier to manage next year;0)

Hi Hywel Pleased you enjoyed your look around and for identfying the Sempervivum, you did send me the Astrantia and it is a lovely little plant just perfect on the Rockery;0)
