A few more May bloomers
« on: May 17, 2007, 20:36:02 »
So nice to have a mild dry evening I couldn't help taking these few snaps just now.   :)  G x



Sweet Rocket.  I've got 3 pots of this and it smells devine.



Nectaroscorum.  One of the Alliums and the first time I've grown it.



Allium Purple Sensation.  Such an intense colour.



Sage in flower.  Just love it. 



First Dutch Iris out.  One of my favourites.



Just beginning to get the cottage style border I'm after.

You're too modest, George. You call them 'snaps'...there's a couple in there that are worthy of a prize. Well photographed!

Ah Pye, but you only get to see the good bits.   ;)  And would you really want a garden that's only 9 feet wide?   ::)

It's not how big it is G, it's what you do with it that matters  ;)

Great pics as usual, thanks for sharing!  ;D
