Garden notes over the first two weeks of July, during which time the rose Gentle Hermione and the Regale lilies both came into their own. Months of preparation on their part, culminating in glorious displays of fragrant blooms and then along comes heavy rain and winds, which have left all these beauties looking rather fragile and battered, but still beautiful.
The pale yellow daisy had become so large it was muscling other plants out of the way! So it has had the chop and the plant has also been relocated outside the garden! I feel very bad about digging it up, and all those lovely flowers, so they have been sitting in lots of water in the wheelbarrow until the blooms have gone over. I am hoping the plant will settle into its new home and enjoy all the space it now has all around it.
This is a new rose in the garden. My Little Pet, a David Austen rose which I have planted to replace the large very dark Munstead Wood, which I have relocated to the area outside the garden. It was too big for the flowerbed, and also the colour, although sumptuous, was just a bit too dark. This little thing is beautiful, especially the tiny pink buds.
Beautiful - all looking so lovely - especially the sweet peas, which I love. I can also place it all now after our visit and the fabulous wedding. Love to all xx
ReplyDeleteI wish all these beauties had been flowering when you were here, but there were other beauties to enjoy in the form of daughter and granddaughters (and grandsons) so we can't have everything can we!!! The heavy rain, which continues on most days in fits and starts, has done its best to knock everything for six, but to their credit the roses, sweet peas and lilies have coped remarkably well! xx
