HOT, HOT, HOT!

Isn't nature wonderful. Lovely blog Spritz, photos great. Well done.

love your hot border...great photos of beautiful plants...

Are you sure you're not at Great Dixter today ? Lol ! Beautiful clashes of hot colours there.

I can feel the heat from here Spritz. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Lovely hot colours they all look fabulous together thanks for warming up the day :o)

Wow, lovely hot borders, so beautiful. thanks for sharing them with us.

These are lovely borders a great hot mix ,plus two lovely Geraniums.

Positively on fire!!! Wonderful

Thanks all - I don't think that I'd want more than one hot border in my garden...your eyes would need a rest, wouldn't they... I 'do' love the clashes though!

I hope Christopher Lloyd would like it - I think he'd approve, having seen his work....:-)))

Spritz, WOW! Its beautiful and I'm sure Christopher Lloyd would strongly approve. I don't call it clashing, I call it contrast and mingle and vibrant. I really love it, so packed. One of the best I've seen.

Love those clashes!

i love hot hot hot toooooooooooo. mine is full of it and yours is fantastic. love all clashing colors

What a lovely hot border, mind you all your garden is lovely, thanks for sharing i really enjoyed looking at it.

Thanks, folks - I love it, too - I'll be looking out for even brighter dahlias next time...and why not? I'm pleased that I'm not the only one who likes 'hot' colours! :-)))

This is wonderful, Spritz! Everytime I see a blog on your garden, it takes me straight back there, oh how I wish I lived closer! Love this 'Hot' bed, great photos too~this border reflects the lovely warmth of your great personality and welcome. A joy to see as always my dearest friend.... :~))xx

Hi Flori - it didn't look like this when you were here, did it? I wish you could see it 'for real' as well...you could have a private viewing! LOL. xxx

I love HOT too Spritz it really perks you up and puts a zing in your step.

I agree with that! 'Zing' is good! :-))) Thanks, Stroller.

wow my fingers are on fire on my keyboard barbara lol, lovely blog and great pics of your hot boarder to ;o))

LOL Sandra! Thank you. :-))))

Fantastic. Given me some idea's for the bowling green next year. Will have to pick your brains soon.

You'd be very welcome, Littlelegs. :-)) Ask away!

Brilliant,Spritz,I love hot colour schemes too..even on a grey day,they brighten
everything around..lovely..

Thanks, Bloomer. I bought another 'hot' plant today - sadly not a hardy one - but it's a great colour! It's called an Asclepias and I haven't come across it before.

What a wonderful cheerfull border

Thanks, Maggy - it is a happy place! :-)))

Wow, these platns are just gorgeous!!! I love your colour scheme, Spritz. Great blog :o)

Lovely border Spritz, I am really getting into these Zingy hot colours :-))
Ps Hope Henry is ok today

Thanks, Pip, and Anne...The 'hot' colours are great fun to put together, as you need to get them as clash-y as possible!

Henry had another fit last night...we have an appointment at the Vet Hospital tomorrow. He's OK today, but it was awful last night. :-((

Hope all goes well tomorrow xx

Thanks, Anne... xx

Smashing blog Spritz, I ilke to see 'hot' border at this time of the year. I hope Henry OK.

Thanks, Rbt...at the moment, he seems to be, but we're waiting for the vet to look him over tomorrow - and put him on medication.

Glad you approve of my hot border! :-)

Fabulous Hot Border Barbara , a kaleidoscope of colour ..

I hope all goes well for Henry tomorrow Barbara , it's so worrying to see your pets unwell , fingers crossed .. x

What a lovely comment...thank you.

Also thanks for the good wishes. It's awful to see him ill....and a bit scary, too.

Sensational border, brings the sunshine all by itself.
Thinking of Henry tomorrow, he looks a great dog.

He is, Troddles...

Thanks...I'm glad you like my hot border...:-)))

It looks fantastic.........I am sure CL would approve .

Thanks, Dd......I appreciate that. :-))))

ohh how LOVELY - i adore colour en-mass like that - (envy envy LOL) love to Henry too =)) XO

Good luck, give Henry a pat for me! :o)

Henry's getting lots of extra pats from you all out there! He's loving the attention...

Pip, thank you....

Cate, thanks for your lovely comment. :-))

Oh my goodness what a border to die for......I wish and wish and wish.

It's only a matter of choosing the right plants, Scabious...if you have space, that is. It's taken a few years to build this up, so that it improves each year. I've moved plants around, too, in the process. It still needs some work!

I'm glad you like it....

Beautiful Spritz....I love it when all these colours get together.......

Thanks - guess what! So do I...only don't tell anyone...lol.

It`s fantastic Barbara, it really is HOT,HOT,HOT! :o)

Thank you, Sandra...it's still going strong! :-))

Better than Chelsea and might even be better than Christo!!!!!

Never.....couldn't be....he was 'the best'. :-)))

Now some of the Chelsea gardens....hmmmm....LOL.

Christo was certainly your inspiration. He dared to shock the establishment taking out a rosebed in his own garden that had been there for years. With his new colourful planting he inspired others to be bolder and more adventurous. Your plant associations are easier for us to follow than Shocking bannanas and prima donna Cannas Spritz!!

He got criticised, too - but I've had such lovely comments...:-)

Yes, I saw both gardens, Dorjac - we lived in Kent for many years and visited Great Dixter several times! I know which I preferrred, too! I 'do' have a Canna in a pot, but my 'hot' border faces east so it wouldn't thrive in there....no bananas though. :-(

This garden is so lovely, i only wish i had the space. If it was mine i would sit and look at it for hours, pure bliss.

Thank you, Clarkey - and welcome to GOY!

I've taken some notes for planting next year Barbara. I am always trying to extend the flowering calendar.
Looks great!

Hi Linda - well, it did back in August! LOL. Thanks. :-)
