My garden today - 24th May

[Mrs Ava]

Things in my garden looking wonderful.

   I have aquilegias everywhere, they seed at will and I just wander thru in the sping yanking out the ones that are in the wrong place.

   These are my echiums pinnata that I grew from seed 3 years ago.  I have been nurturing them and finally they are begining to reach for the sky, they should get to huge heights.  One of them was damaged by the frost, and it has flowered prematurely.

 My ceanthos (sp??  :-\) and my robinia red robin both in flower and looking stunning.

 Chinese foxgloves are in full flower in my greenhouse - they look like orchids to me!!  Lovely!!!

 Medlar blossom.  Hoping for fruits this year - tis only 4 years old and altho we get a couple, never many, and they vanish in the autumn!

Ceanothus??

Didn't realise the more exotic aquis would self-seed  - must get some. We only have the ones in No.2 pic. = Tim

Lovely EJ.

Lost my Ceanothus this year to the frosts.

Gets a bit cold up here in the gods.

Beautiful, EJ, love the idea of

I just wander thru in the sping yanking out the ones that are in the wrong place.

- playing God(dess) with the aquilegias!!  Maybe if my double frilly aquilegias ever reach maturity I'll be able to do that next year.  Still no sign of the blues  germinating but the pinks are ready for potting on.

think I just might have room for another shrubby bush - ceanothos looks great.

Looks beautiful EJ, what a lot of hard work you have put into everything :o

Absolutely beautiful EJ :)  Green with envy at the ceanothus.  Never been successful in growing them :(  Particularly like the chinese foxglove - what a stunning flower.
