The inner garden is certainly full of colour, mostly from tulips and three year old wallflowers! We are enjoying most of the wallflowers but one or two are going to have to come out! They are big now, and the yellow colour rather overpowering. That's the trouble with buying an anonymous tray of Persian Carpet wallflowers in the autumn. It really is a lucky dip and so when they are planted out there is no knowing how the colours are going to sit next to their neighbour, come flowering time! I am not keen on the very strong yellow, especially when it rocks up next to a vibrant red tulip! But in these strange and constricting times, their colour combination is alive and stimulating!
And the outer garden, the bed along the length of the cottage is looking very bright and breezy. It's done very well, considering most of its colour comes from banished wallflower plants looking for a new home, having outgrown our tiny inner garden!
I have a real soft spot for this little wallflower. I love the colour, but most of all I love the fact that it is has seeded itself there, being true to itself (wallflower), it is a self isolating, glorious little plant!
