Sad. But the next few weeks will see my spring flowers come to an end ,at present there is lots of colour so in the last few days have made the most of it.I have taken so many pictures it is hard to decide what to use.
So thinking in the depths of winter may be i would show some of the ones i have not used to date just to brighten things up
Viburnum Plicatum 3 pictures
Broom in the lower garden
Another variety
White Camassia, One Jamie has not stood on
Looking down to a lower level
Alliums self seeded
Rhododendron Sappho
As above close up this is around 30 years old and massive .
This is the first one i ever planted
Could not resist a couple more Rho dos even though i promised not to blog any more
This i call the GOU effect as last summer i cleared an area after joining the group to plant these type of plants which did not exist up to then.
Enjoy

Bjs what a stunnning garden and in full flower. I am still waiting for my garden here in London to burst into flower, it shouldn't be too long now as I can at last see flower buds lol. You have some beautiful colours in yours
31 May, 2010
From the post on Goy it seems as if the London area is not as far forward as some of the more northerly gardens.

So very pretty and how lovely to have enough garden for such large specimens.
31 May, 2010

beautiful, love the plicatum, how big is it? mine is about 4ft at the moment
1 Jun, 2010
Grindle like most things they have grown large over the years this one is at least 10ft high.a few years back i allowed a yellow clematis to grow up and over the top, big mistake the top started to die off because it had no light since doing away with the clematis its has taken 2 years to recover.

love spring gardens and ues is really loverly
1 Jun, 2010
thanks BJ, I'm glad you said about the clematis, I had been thinking along those lines, now I will just let it be.

Yours is definitely a Spring garden BJS and a beautiful one at that, I think the Viburnum family is underestimated, so lovely yet tough. I like the Camassia, must look it up.
