Aberglasney (second part)

Hywel, It looks beautiful, lovely flowers,plants & trees. A must to visit if I come to Wales. "I escpecially like the look of the tea rooms" :o)

Yet another great spot in Wales ... just beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the springtime photos as well. Thanks for this lovely blog, Hywel.

Thank you. I didn't think this blog was very good myself. It only shows a few plants.

a lovely place to visit Hywel...... with all its plants and trees.......

It looks wonderful there Hywel, I would love to go.
I thought the Sidalcea looked wonderful en masse, also the Marguerites (if that is what they were). Flowers always look best en masse, I think, which can be a little difficult in a small garden. If you scale the clumps down to match the garden size, it still leaves you with less chance of having lots of different varieties.
You are very lucky to have such a lovely place to visit near you.

I think it is a lovely blog,too,Hywel.What a lovely place to visit..must keep it in mind.I love the Sidalcea,I have this one,and is one of my favourites.I like the colour combinations of the Sedum and Campanula too.Always nice to visit a place,where you can have a nice cuppa,(and a nice piece of cake) it justs finishes off a lovely day out.thanks for showing it to us...:o))

Thanks for showing more,it is a beautiful place and well worth visiting if ever in Wales.

lovely to see it in the summer...ive only been there in january and the autumn....;-))

Loved this blog the flowers are really nice and the last picture is a good one of the house and gardens.

Thoroughly enjoyed this 'not very good' blog, lol. Don't put yourself down, Hywel. I too love the sedum with the campanulas but dislike the yellow flowers on the lysimachia. That thistley thing looks stunning against the beautiful blue sky. It must be lovely to walk in those woods on a hot day - if we ever get any more!

Hywel - I've enjoyed your two blogs about Aberglasney. I rmember the TV series about the restoration project a few years ago but it is very impressive now.
The 'poppy' in the first picture is romneya coulteri - it's one of those plants that hates disturbance but once you've got it going, it can be a thug in the wrong place (a friend planted it against the house and it came up in the living room between the floor and the wall!)
Number 4 (the yellow flower with purple foliage) is lysimachia ciliata 'Firecracker' (another one with invasive roots but a good foliage colour when grown in full sun)
The white daisy looks like a leucanthemum (which was known as Shasta Daisy in my grandmother's garden) and the pink spikes are veronicastrum

seeing all these wonderfull bright sunny pics makes me want summer to come now hywel,, thanx for sharing them, very pretty :o)))

Thank you everyone for all your comments.
Thank you Andrew for naming the plants I didn't know. I have added them on now. I remember the tv program aswell and I remember Penelopy Hobhouse in it.

Another beautiful blog Hywel, love the archway walk and the trees
