Ceanothus in bloom

lovely picture and plants...

Glad you like it folks

LOVELY PHOTO. IS THE SHRUB CEANOTHUS?

Thanks Linsuffolk. Yes, the shrub is Ceanothus. It started to take over so I had to get very hard on it and it ended up looking like a mushroom by the time I had finished trying to get it even. Another month or two and I shall have to get out the Black and Decker again. It is a bit like the chain saw massacre when I get going. No, I'm not as cruel as that really and it doesn't seem to mind.

Ceanothus is a funny old shrub Felinfan.....either wants to rule the border....then sulks when you try to hold it back. I must be mad for still trying to grow one. The blue is so lovely to the eye. I first saw it at a Cambridge college against a sunny wall. I forgot I didn't have a posh wall space like that for it to lean on. It ended up trying to take over the garden path on the way to the shed......not such a pretty shed as yours.....welcome to GoY
