West Dean Gardens, nr. Chichester

I love an allium!

Me too, but the bulbs I planted haven’t appeared … no idea what went wrong, but perhaps they just froze?

Ladies, I am really beginning to think that the wet Winter has had a strange effect on some of my plants as today I found some long-ago planted Alliums, name escapes me now, that have been dormant for a couple of years! A clump of Geranium magnificum has grown taller than ever ... strange goings-on!

Most of my alstros. disappeared but they've all returned this spring!

That's good news ... :o)

That really does look very nice indeed.

Thanks Chris, there were a few areas planted with purple and lilac plants which I found very attractive.

It seems like you had a lovely day out, visiting Dean Gardens.

Josie, we certainly did, just as well there were benches for us to sit and rest!

Beautiful collection of alliums!!!

Kate, there were quite a few areas planted with Alliums, some were huge too!
