A few favourites.
 |
| Yellow Laburnum tree accentuated by the sun |
 |
| Jungle tree/palm? |
 |
| I am fascinated by ferns. Love the 'crozier' unfurling of bracken as well. |
 |
| The yellow/orange of Californian poppy against pale purple alliums |
 |
| Dining out in a pizza place |
 |
| Plants ready for planting |
 |
| Large Rock Rose - Cistus. The bees adored it and there was a few butterflies as well |
 |
| I think this is quaking grass. Down the path to the dark undergrowth of the large Gunnera, not a place I have been to. |
 |
| New ferns at the base of the central new shed. |
 |
| This photo is here because the fir trees behind those trees at the top have been cut down because of a ravaging beetle attack. As it is North there maybe problems in the environment of the quarry when cold North-East winds bear down. |
 |
| Hostas giant sized and still unravaged by snails |
 |
| Probably my favourite fern. This giant fern has subtle bronze shading which my camera fails to pick up. Photos show up in the black background if you click on the photos. |
It's Too Darn Hot, to write words
I had to look back at past posts to find out more about this Jungle Garden. It sure is beautiful and I imagine it is a lot of work to keep up.
ReplyDeleteWell Abbey works on Monday and she was there this Monday, she does the soft planting, whilst someone called Martin does the hard landscaping Ellen. Also there are volunteers come in to help, and Jack of course. There was still fleeces left round the garden because of frosts as well.
DeleteIt looks casual and artful, but it takes a lot of work to keep it up.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lot of work and the garden's future will at some stage have to be decided on Janice.
