At the end of the path...

awww henry out for a walk

Is Henry standing beside a cotinus? hello Henry!!

No Cotinus - left is a Berberis and right is a purple Hazel. He was following me round wondering what I was doing!

hahaha...Mandy gets quizical when I'm trotting around poking that silver thing into the flowers!!! A purple Hazel...must look for one of those...also the corkscrew hazel too! I suppose it's value is ornamental? does it set nuts?

It would if I allowed it to grow big enough, but I want it to stay quite small - i don't want a full-sized tree in that space! The purple Hazel gets coppiced every other year to keep it under control.

i am enjoying your garden...

Thanks, Sandra. You have to have stamina to look at all the photos! lol.
