Lovely. Like the japanese fern Brian, will it get very large. Also like the little blue flower in the trough on the left sixth picture down. Do you have a name for that ? Jamie looks well again now.

Suzy, your welcome pretty straight forward if you have an old wooden one,I am sure it was blogged in more detail in 2010.
there is a second one either side of where Jamie is sitting,trying to persuade Roses to climb that one

Cinders, one to the right is Ramonda Myconi I showed that in full bloom a couple of weeks ago ,nearly over now.
Have recovered the name of the fern = Athyrium Otophorum Var Okanum. think thats spelt right.
And no it does not grow large with me about 18 in across x 9in high,I love it have it in a pot as well and seems happy with a bit of shade.

I don't have an old wooden one, but I've been looking for them on ebay, they go for around £20... I did see it in one of your blogs some time ago, stumbled across it. I've already talked nicely to my Dad about it and I've got just the place for one :)

Thanks for that Brian.

Lovely pictures, wish I could grow Meconopsis, I've tried a couple of times but I don't think they like my soil. Love the last picture.

Love your path BJs. Your garden is looking great and your ferns are much further on than mine. Thank you for sharing :) Jamie is looking wonderful too!

As you say Bjs everything is really taking off now, but this is how I love to see it all merging together and rampant.
Nice to see Jamie looking more like his old self.

Brian your garden is amazing, it looks great with all the new growth.
So great to see Jamie back out there & his coat looking good again. Hope he is doing as good inside x

Brian, can you answer, please?
25 May, 2012
Katarina.Pretty please!
Viburnum 'Mariesii' its the one which produces the flowers in flat clusters along the branches. This one is still a young plant and has not spread out much yet.

What did I do? I asked politely. Or didn´t I? English is not easy.
26 May, 2012
Katarina yes you did ask politely,but sounded as though you were becoming inpatient with me , could not remember the name and had to look the following day.
No problem just my fun at you chasing me.

Simply lovely! Your garden certainly looks like it's at its best right now. Love the Japanese Painted Fern and those Brooms. Jamie looks busy keep an eye on everything.
26 May, 2012
OK. Thank you for answering. So how should the question be more polite- May I ask you for the answer/or can I ask you for the answer. In my language both sound same. And are polite.
27 May, 2012
Katarina
Yes both ways are polite,just my interpretation of the use of the two , , made it sound.ooooooooo
An alternative =Can I ask you for an answer as soon as possible.
Think we will put this one to bed .
