When the opportunity of planting up my three new shrubs

30 comments


was offered in the way of glorious sunshine I didn`t waste much time in getting out in the garden.
So I hope you don`t mind my sharing with you a few of the photos taken when I had finished.
First comes Cytisus `Zeelandia` between the barrel and rock and then over to the left you can see Grevillea `Canberra Gem`you can just see the red flowers on the tips of its branches.
The grevillea replaces the one I lost in 2010

Next comes Coronilla glauca `Citrina`
This is another replacement lost to the winter of 2010
so this time I have put it in a pot so that it can be taken in if there is a danger of any frost.

Going round the garden I was pleased to find the first bud on the climbing rose `Dublin Bay` once this starts it seems to flower for ever.

Here is Hydrangea Petiolaris in close up showing of her buds,

and then again full on.

We now go to the bottom of the garden where Clematis `Angelique`is putting on growth and is begining to bush out, she seems quite happy in her pot.

Of course once you start snapping you just can`t stop so I must just include a few general photos,
A large lump of wood found by OH and sited by the pond

and a glimpse of the waterfall.I can never get good shots of water.

and the Akebia growing over the wall behind the seating area which I did a small makeover on last week. To the left of pic is Fatsia Japonica, Buddleia `white profusion` and Viburnum bod. `Dawn`

and finally an overall view of the left side of garden.

Still got plenty of little gaps so will wait and see whats on offer at the Malvern show.

Stroller, you have a really beautiful garden. Just love your water garden, the little bridge and the stone and the waterfall...and I wish my climbing hydrangea looked like that.

You have a smashing garden Stroller, I love the way you have set it out, the waterfall looks so natural, reminds me of the streams and waterways one sees in both N.Wales and the Lake District..

Your garden is a picture :o) And your new plants are lovely ...

25 Apr, 2012

 

Rose must admit to being proud of the wall as we made it from a load of old paving slabs.
Ta Hywel glad you think so.

25 Apr, 2012

 

I certainly do :o)

25 Apr, 2012

 

Well done you. Its definitely something to be proud of and very unusual too.

Lovely pics Stroller, your garden looks quite a big one. I love the way you've designed it and most of the work done is your own too. Particularly like to see the 'overview' pic at the end as it gives perspective:-)

Thanks Ba, the garden is`nt large about 66ft long and 28ft wide but by the use of diagonal pathways and stone circles it gives the impression of being much bigger ~ all achieved by trial and error.
