Hi Pansy, you wanted a close up of the selection in the bed in front of the g’house..
As you can see, in the actual border, itself various rockery plants, and primroses, all underplanted with bulbs which have now gone over, a couple of heucheras, not showing yet though, sadly the pansies died off during the winter, the denticulata have finished flowering now as well…
Not yet decided on the summer choice yet as no busy lizzies this year…
There is a little stone wall separating the border from the main bed, the delphiniums are hiding the planting from my view when indoors at the moment as they are huge this year but I can see my plants from the other side, this bed changes through the seasons, it contains..

Ha..remember that picture of the rain splashing on your garden table and how drab it all was.? Well it was worth the wait wasn't it? Such a lot of colour.

Well worth it and because its so wet they are lasting a long time this year....

lovely to see the border so close-up sue, lovely planting nice pics, wonder when we will have bizzy lizzys again, my boss always has them but not this year.

I wondered why I couldn't find Buizy Lizzies. Is it because of that virus they had ?
I've always grown roses in mixed beds and borders. They don't seem to mind.
You've got a nice variety of plants in that bed Sue :o) I like the Doronicum. Every time I've tried to grow it, the slugs finish it off.

border is glorious !!!

Thanks all.
Hywel I guess it is the virus, I do have lots of snails that luckily aren`t tempted to eat to eat my Doronicum, but haven`t actually seen a slug in years, I think my frogs take care of them for me, lol, as you know I have lots of frogs around here...

What a lovely display Sue..what is the yellow one in the
first pic,please? so bright and cheerful..it's a credit to you..love it all :o)

Hi Sandra, thankyou, the yellow is Allysum Saxatillis, very faithful, I cut it hard back when it finishes flowering and as you can see this is the way it responds....

Lovely Lincslass.

I could send some slugs for your frogs if you like lol ;o)
5 May, 2012
Fair exchange Hywel, I'll send you snails, lol...
5 May, 2012
I've got plenty of those too lol. Some are pretty, with stripey yellow and brown shells. But that doesn't save them :o)

A very pretty border, Lincs. We have loads of frogs , but also plenty of slugs too!

A beautiful border you must be very proud....

Sorry Lincs I dont know how I came to miss this lovely blog, thankyou so much for showing me the closeups of your garden, all your plants are beautiful so its difficult deciding which I like best, but to name a few, the Allysum lights up the border, and the lovely shy Hellebore is so pretty, your alpines are stunning just the effect I want eventually on my rockery. The Dicentra is looking lovely mine is in flower too but the leaves on mine are more yellow than yours, Can we have another blog please when all your summer plants and roses are in flower, going on my favourite now;0))

You are very welcome Pansy, the rain has really helped them this year, they have flowered for ages...
