The Scree (Pebble) Area.

8 comments

After I reduced the grass area to a small circle, with the hole for the rotary washing line in the centre, I found washing swiped the Iris in east facing border. Not good for the Iris or the washing! What to do? Create an area for small plants, an alpine bed.
Looking from the stepping stone, under which is the hole for the rotary line.
The little bridge crosses the small kidney-shaped pond. Bottom pond (biggest)with goldfish, to left, and top pond behind the black Mondo Grass. The solar panel is to pump water from bottom to top pond when needed. The bucket pond is to contain my mini Waterlily, which needs shallow water, so would get lost in the ponds. It has never flowered and I’ve had it so long I can’t remember what colour it’s supposed to be. Any advice?
The stepping stones go to Crinedendron corner.

Now some of the little things.
Sempervivum Bronco, several other unnamed red leaved ones.

Starting to flower

Cobweb type.

Several Dianthus

And Rhodohypoxis.

Delospermum, i had several in the front, but lost 2, then moved the remaining 3 to my newly created scree, but one is dying away. The flowers only open when it’s sunny.

Papaver burseri, a little alpine Poppy, grown from seed.

Erodium cheilanthifolium, a small alpine. There’s SweetHeart a bigger version futher back……

….with some larger succulents
Sedum Little Dove and Fuchsia procumbens, to trail over the rock.

and hardy Crassula sarcocaulis

Lots of self seeded Linaria

Just weed out the ones I don’t want or if they are in the wrong place.
Just a few tweaks and I will be happy with it….maybe.
