Cinderella's Secret Garden...

lovely. what a beautiful mix of colour. The blue aqueligia is stunning and so are the heuchera :o))

Thank you, Helen, I am so glad that you got caught up in the magic of this garden too...

This is absolutely gorgeous..love the delphs and columbine and there is colour everywhere, with or without flowers. The honeysuckle is fantastic as are the heucheras..thanks for the pics Flori and Cinders for the pleasure!

Oooohhhh what gorgeous flowers & colours, what a delightful garden and your photos Flori do it justice. You certainly had a lovely day by the looks of things. Great blog. Thank you.

Thanks for that Flori. You have done an excellent job as usual. Hope the GoYers will think so too. x

thanks Flori, the garden is an absolute dream, so many beautiful flowers,and so much colour I love the layout, glad you all had a nice day together, not surprised you got your camera out quickly, I would have done the same,

brilliant blog for a beautiful garden!

Glad you had a nice day out... and the pics of cinderellas garden are lovely....

Thanks Flori, what a treat you`ve given us wonderful photos of a delightful garden.

I just knew Cinder's garden would be as lovely as her! Gorgeous honeysuckle, and yummy heucheras, sometimes they're just as colourful as any flower! Thanks for the pics, Flori, they're beautiful!

i love that honey sucuekl theres one at the farm and i keep trying to root bits of it , very pretty garden , thanks flori ................... theres a little tour round my garden if you fancy a quik peek hun xx

Flori you have a way with words and your description of Cinders garden really does it justice........what a little gem, such colour and form and yes secret.....well it was lol charming thanks for letting us view Cinders garden. Oh and that honeysuckle what a colour!!

Thanks everybody, and I am so glad that you are enjoying this. I know that Cinder's will be really pleased at your comments. That gorgeous Honeysuckle had to be seen to be believed. I have never seen one that colour before...It hasn't got the strongest scent, but visually, it is a real stunner...\0/X

Thanks so much for that Bev. What a wonderful blog and a beautiful garden. Cinders, you weren't kidding when you told me it was full up! Great work you've done there. You've also just reminded me of something....I saw some Digitalis similar to this at Chelsea. They were called 'Devon Cream'. I need to buy some seed so I can add them to my longest border for next year.....off I go hunting! :))

Well, this GoYer is most impressed with this blog, Cinders! What a lovely garden you have created, so much colour and it's only just June. You deserve a pat on the back. : o )

I will have to chip in here and thank all you lovely people for the great comments. I am not a terribly organised gardener really, things mostly get put in where there is a space, except for the Heuchera bed and the new corner garden where I wanted colour, especially in the winter where I look out onto it. You are all very kind, thank you, and thanks to Flori for her wonderful photos and kind words.

Wow what a fantastic garden, congratulations to Cinders for allowing you to share it with us and to you Flori for such a wonderful blog and superb pics. How lucky you were to see TWO such beautiful gardens in one day, I'm green with envy!

It's a very pretty garden - I can see how much hard work and love has gone into it, Cinders. I have no idea what the honeysuckle's name is, but it's a real feature. :-)) Thanks, Flori!

Thanks for the blog Flo, I enjoyed seeing Cinders garden.
Cinders: You have a beautiful garden packed with stunning plants.

That honeysuckle looks similar to the one ShirleyTulip put on recently....

Thankyou Spritz & Dawn You are very kind. Karen I shall have to take a look at Shirleys honeysuckle.

Just had a look and it does look very much like it.

Hello Flori, it's been nice to see some photos of you on your garden adventures recently.I think it's lovely that you have been able to meet up with so many other Goyers. Cinders has a very pretty garden.

Cinders, my Honeysuckle is 'Golden Trumpet' ... does look very similar to yours. : o )

Thanks Shirley, I must make a note of that. I agree it does look the same. I have had it for years, it was a free one when a garden centre near here gave them away if you spent over a certain amount. I never kept the label.

Sounds like my kind of garden centre! : o )))

Your garden is alive with colour and so much variety, Cinders. I love the fullness of all your borders and your little seating area.

The honeysuckle really is smashing....so cheerful with its abundant blooms :) And your heucheras look so good together....I only had 3 heucheras so have spaced them in the garden but with every intention of buying more so I can clump them together....it looks so very effective and attractive.

Thanks to you, Flora, for taking the photos and sharing Cinders' garden with us all.

ooooh this is lovely ~ thank you flori ~ what superb photos.

cinderella your garden is a picture ~ like a real artist palette ~ its so full of colour and beautiful plants.

Jacquie & Sticki, thanks so much for your lovely comments, its really appreciated. I have so many Heucheras now I really shouldnt buy any more, but you know what its like......

love your heucheras Cinderella.they are my new favourite now .I love the different shades and have just bought 6 and am hooked so no doubt will be buying lots more :o))

Thanks Helen. I love the way you have colour through the winter too.

i didnt know about heucheras till i joined this site and i think the first one i bought didnt do so well ~ now i have about 4 and they are lovely ~ truly a very good value plant.

i know exactly what you mean about not buying more ~ im trying hard not to but then there is just that one that you see and you think ~ i may not get a chance again!!

Exactly ! My thoughts too.

:-))

Oh Cinderella, you have a stunning garden full of colour. It looks so good and it puts mine in the shade.

Thanks for sharing this hidden gem with us Flori I can see that you must have had a great time there... :-)

I seem to be taking over Flori's blog, I hope she doesnt mind, but I can't let all the comments go by without acknowledging them. Thanks Richard, nice to hear from you. I am glad you like my garden. I am sure yours is fine too.

Thanks Cinderella the runner beans and tomatoes in my garden are coming along fine but there is not much colour there at the moment until the flowers start to bloom :-). (Hope you are well Flori..and you Cinderella )

I am so pleased to see you taking over my blog on your gorgeous garden, Cinders, it just goes to prove how wonderful it is, and I am so delighted that I put this on, as so many can now appreciate the beauty of what we saw when we took you home...When you live with your own garden, you just can't see it the way that others do...I really hope that this blog proved what a gem you have, through your own loving work, hidden away in this little village. I bet your OH is looking down on you and is so mightily proud of what you have achieved my dear friend...All these comments praising your garden are well deserved, Cinders...I am just chuffed that I could do my little bit to bring it to other Goyers attention...\0/X

You are so kind Flori, I love all your comments, especially about my OH. He would have loved it I know. Thank you so much. As soon as the weather warms up again you must come over.

We would love too, Cinders...Looking forward to it...\0/X

:o(( feeling very left out, not one pic is showing, just bare or red x...I know you said it was a secret garden, but this is ridiculous lol :o))

Ah Crissue..You made me laugh this morning...I am sure that you would be very welcome too...if you can find it! lol \0/

ah ah as if by magic, all has been revealed...stunning, this gardens got soul...x x
Glad I gave you a giggle Flori :o)

What a lovely day out for happy gardeners. 2 really pretty, well cared for gardens and a lovely blog.....thanks Flori.

Lonicera tellmanniana, I think.

I was going to say that, I could have looked knowledgeable :-(
Love the garden Cinders and the prose Flori and your wonderful pics. You must both have had a fantastic day....and I was just around the corner.........:-)

You need courage, Bornagain, (the courage to get it wrong now and again, ha ha)

I didn't have time Vincent, I knew what it was 'cos I've got one...just couldn't bring the name to mind so was going to look it up.....then right at the last moment...you stole my thunder lol:-)

A stunning garden, well done Cinders and Flori!

Thank you so much Pip. I am hoping to meet up with Flori again this week and her OH. If the weather holds we will be having tea in the garden !!

Don't forget the camera:-))

It will be my garden Ba, and I have just heard that they will be visiting next Sunday, so I am sure Flori will have her camera and I will definitely have mine.

I heard on radio this morning that we are in for 2 glorious weeks, so bikinis at the ready:-)

I think it's about time the UK got their share of the Sunshine, and we got our share of the rain...after all tis ony fair...:o))

I was wrong:-(

Unfortunately, Ba, but as we always say, the gardens need it, or mine does.

Sunny again here today hooray\0/ May be able to have Granddaughters birthday meal (her choice, just family) in the garden:-)

/that will be nice. I'm hoping for a fine day Sunday, as Flori and her OH are coming for tea.

Lovely...and just look at the weather:-) Well it's sunny here, give them my love:-)

I will do Ba. Just had a shower, but sun trying to come through. Sitting in the garden is debatable at the moment.

Rain and more rain here today...comes over in waves...still it's helping the garden...and I can get on with something else...for a change...:o))

Anyway, hope you had a lovely time:-)

Thanks Ba. We had a lovely time. Just before Flori arrived we had the most horrendous storm, which battered and flooded the garden, so we couldnt really sit out in it, but the sun did come out for a while, which meant Flori and Andy could take a few 'wet' photos. Raffles enjoyed it too.

Pity about the downpour, but good happy company is like sunshine:-) Hope to see some pics:-)

Well I didnt take any, but Flori did, so we shall have to wait and see.

Is she coming back to us?:-)

I think so, but is very busy at the moment on other projects apparently.

We do miss her humour and her lovely blogs don't we:-(

We do. lol :o)))

Really cold here today:-(

Is it, I haven't been out yet !! But sun is shining.

Send it over here:-)

Catching up on some summer blogs ...
Some beautiful photos here, Flori ...
What a lovely garden ... :o)))
