Middle Border

I love it Olive, my kind of gardening too.

The rose is Leaping Salmon, but I do wonder about it, it is rather pink, I do like it but thought when I bought it it would be a peachier pink than it is. Glad you like the garden Cinderella.

Its lovely, I used to have Leaping Salmon, and I am sure mine was more peachy than this one, but as you say, it is lovely anyway.

Well, now that is stunning....however, I don't think it would be half as nice with orange in it!! lol!

No it wouldn't when I bought this rose I put it somewhere else and was disappointed it didn't do well, had to move it, but it is in the right place now, it is full of flowers. I still love peaches and oranges and yellows best though. Really looking forward to the climbers getting hold and showing off their colours. Isn't it strange, things get moved without a lot of thought and they just seem to fit in. Well they are doing for me at the moment. A plonker I confess to being.

Nope, I think it is sub-concious plant planning! You do it on a 'higher plane'!

You might be right there.

Beautiful, I think the deep pink rose compliments the other deep colours. Well done you, as this mixed planting is harder and takes longer to achieve then it looks.

thank you Drc726 it is getting there - it has taken a while but patience is paying off.

This is exactly how i would love things to be....Stunning Olive...:>)

Thanks Youngdaisy, pleased you're like me and like colour.

Rose pleased you like. It can be a bit haphazard at times, but it works for me. I love it too.

Thank you all

Your garden is very beautiful Olive.

Thank you Camillia, pleased you like it :o)

This is great planting - it's beautiful.

Thank you Muddywalters :o)

How on earth did I miss these beautiful pictures :((((

No problems - you have been so very very busy in your garden, it is nice to catch up though. I had a lot to do with the catching up after I had been looking after Sarah's house for her. Sometimes it is impossible to see everything, especially when so many friends are publishing pictures and writing blogs. I just go with the flow. :0))))))

lol..

This is simply stunning! I tend to go more with lilacs, whites, pinks & purples, but I love a splash of bolder colour in red & I do love the lemony tones mixed in. And some wonderful green foliage in there to blend it all together. I'm not a great fan of orange & strong yellow, but I have a feeling you could plant those colours up in a way which would make me change my mind.

thank you Dwyllis.

This is what I aspire to ; )

pleased you like it Lauraj :o)
