What A Beautiful Late Summers Day.

Lovely pics Louise.....just like summer again :)

Nice blog louise , lovely to see a comma again!

More like early autumn up here but gorgeous warm sunshine...what a relief after all that rain...they are still mopping up north of Aberdeen and more rain forecast for tomorrow :~((
I just love those pics. Louise1...great to see so much colour....my garden is much more of a spring one....I must try harder!!

Great photos, Louise... well done :o)

lovely photo's Louise the garden looks great ,a real big difference from one end of the country to the other . . .. 33 degrees in the garden! brilliant.

Lovely pictures Louise,it's nice wondering around someone else's garden.

I can almost smell the sunshine Louise, if that makes sense?

Very little sun here today so this has given me a real lift - thanks Louise

Lovely photos Louise, was'nt that hot up this end but we had plenty of warm sunshine, no wind or rain and it was really nice, fingers crossed it stays like it for a while.

Thank you folks :)
It was like midsummer out there :)
Typical that the weather last week was grotty but nice now that i'm back at work though :((

lovely pictures Louise, glad you had some sunshine, it was warm here, but no sun :(

Glorious AUTUMN day yesterday and back to normal today - rain and gales!! Glad I got my iris planted yesterday - won't have to bother watering them in now! You folk down south are in for a heatwave according to the TV lads....lucky you ! Send some up this way when you've had enough will you..LOL

very striking shots

Lovely pictures and what an enormous variety of beautiful plants you have. My garden looks a little sorry for itself - one of the downsides of living on a hill, facing west. This summer seems to have been characterised by strong winds and, at least in my part of North Essex, very little rain.

Thanks again :)

Louloubelle, it's true - i DO have a few, don't i ? ;)

Infact .... i've just got a few more :))))
Just had a small delivery from Beth Chattos gardens :)))

Achillea 'Perrys White'
Achillea 'Inca Gold'
Cichorium intybus
Lychnis viscaria
Phuopsis stylosa
Dierama 'Tiny Bells'

I'll get them planted tomorrow afternoon !

what was the Tiny Bells like Louise? I've been trying to get one of those, seems Beth Chatto's is one of the few that sell it

It's been cut back Grindle so i can't show you a picture of anything interesting at the moment !
Have you looked at the Beth Chatto website to see it ?
I too hadn't seen it available anywhere else which is why i ordered it.

I have Achillea 'Inca Gold' planted with Pennisetum 'Red Head'. It is a very good plant and a good soft colour.

Dierama Tiny Bells available at the folowing nursery...

Lou, that's a lovely combination - of colours and textures.

thanks Alzheimer

Happy to help, Grindle and this nursery is one of my twice yearly "must visits"....and VERY reliable. His pack and post is also very reasonable. If you have a look at his on-line catalogue - you will see what a vast array of fine plants he has too...VERY tempting! He specialises in several species and really knows his stuff...nearly said onions!!! Oh well - he does stock alliums!!

he certainly does do a good range of plants, I'm going to save it to favourites and have a good look :))))))))

Just enjoyed looking at this blog Louise, And I love that you name your plants. It can be a little frustrating sometimes as I can't always see what a plant is or know the variety or I've forgotten its name. Nearly summer, well spring at least:-))

Yes, Ba, nearly there :-)
