See it in a new light.
I thought I didn't like heather but our in bloom group voted to have a heather roundabout and we all pitched in to make it using a design one of our members had put together. It looks fab. Well it did til a car ran over it and dragged up the membrane and about 150 plants with it >:( We've replanted it though and it looks great. I'll have to get a photo and post it. Very proud of it as we are all amateurs :)
I like Heather. Our Heather garden looks a treat all through Winter as we chose winter flowering types for it.
You certainly know how to take a good photo Heldi - absolutely beautiful :) Â As you say, I am seeing heather in a completely new light now :)

How very beautiful Heldi!!!
Gorgeous rich colour ! I think heathers need peat in order to grow well.
:D
:) Good for you Heldi :)
Hi !
I took this pic because this particular heather sits in a little pot lighting up a very gloomy corner. It is a little treasure. I have about six heathers in my front garden and I grow fonder of them every year as they set the garden alight with colour when little else is happening. Pinks,purples,white and a little number with orangey gold foliage.
I'm looking forward to seeing the pic of your roundabout Wardy.
My heather in a pot sits in ericaceous soil but the ones out front sit in a clay soil which I've enriched with stacks of horse manure.
Heathers are fab,you've just got to look at them,I mean really look,then you will know.
i use to have lots of heathers in the front garden but i dug them all up years ago (MrGW not too pleased),i'm feeling rather guilty now :(
ooo-i 'm seeing them in a new light! :D
thanks for that-i may give them a go and make a little feature of them-my mother put me off them by planting her entire garden in them'to dsave work'

mind you-this was the woman who said'o,the lake district-i findit highly over-rated...'

i dont take after her at all.
what a really good picture colour is great
Thanks for the compliments ;D I'm just lucky enough to have a good camera and a childish curiosity !
Stunning pic Heldi. Just love the colour !
It is a great colour isn't it,particularly as its against a darker green foliage. It makes it almost shocking in its gloomy corner of my deck.
I was very taken with a garden I saw recently in a dirty traffic infested street,it was aglow with a patchwork of heathers and really brightened the spirits.
