Title: Filling up the gallery!
Post by: Mrs Ava on June 12, 2004, 15:20:01: So, tis raining, thank goodness, my seedlings will be growing like mad now, but I can't get to the allotment so wandered around the garden after a shower and took a few snaps. Hope you like them.

Post by: eileen on June 12, 2004, 19:00:34: EJ, I'm glad you took a tour around your garden as your photographs are gorgeous! :D That philadelphis is a 'must have' and the lychnis is sooo delicate and such a lovely, rich red.

Tim, your rose is a real beaut. - is Sharifa Asma scented?

Eileen.

Post by: tim on June 12, 2004, 19:27:54: David Austin says 'strongly scented'. Others say 'honey scented'.

I think it depends upon when & how you view it? Tim

Post by: Jesse on June 12, 2004, 19:52:45: EJ & Tim - lovely to see such pretty flowers. I have neglected my garden over the past couple of years (doing only the bare minimum) as been so tied up with my children. Seeing your pics is inspirational and I can feel my green fingers getting the itch to start gardening again. Thanks for sharing your growing success. :)

Post by: Gardengirl on June 12, 2004, 21:29:58: Beautiful photos Emma & Tim.

Hasn't rained here for ages, really need some natural rain to bring all the little plants on. Tap water just doesn't have the same effect.

Post by: rosebud on June 12, 2004, 21:37:30: Hi Tim what a most beautiful rose and a lovely picture,i was going to ask same question is it scented ,it must be a joy to have in the garden LOVELY. :) Rosebud

Post by: Garden Manager on June 12, 2004, 23:28:48: Wonderfull pics EJ. Just a correction or two. the one you called Achillea isnt. Looks to me more like Oenothera (evening primrose) or maybe a potentilla (not sure :-\)

Hmm, Rain what IS that? Forgotten what it looks like. Fancy Essex, one of the drest counties in the country getting it and not Dorset (One of the wettest). Havent seen a drop here for weeks ::)

Post by: tim on June 13, 2004, 09:21:38: Jesseveve - that's one of the ideas, really - a garden visit for those without. = Tim
Title: Re:Filling up the gallery!
Post by: The gardener on June 13, 2004, 12:40:23: Lovely pictures both of you, I liked them all

I think the name you were looking for EJ is; Sisyrinchium...and I would say the flower you call Achillea is in fact a Potentilla
Title: Re:Filling up the gallery!
Post by: Palustris on June 13, 2004, 12:53:49: Full name of plant is Sisyrinchium striatum (or it was I have a feeling the name has been changed recently). the other yellow one is possibly Potentilla warrenii. The red Lychnis is chalcedonica (English name, Maltese Cross).
