There is no excuse. Gardens should provide great combinations of flowers, buds and stems throughout the year.
Shropshire gardens in my care are presently full of..
Persicaria bistorta Superba and Chive
Valerian and Oxeye daisy
Oxeye daisies and Aquilega
Tellima grandiflora, Euphorbia characias wulfenni and London Pride
Aquilega and Tellima grandiflora
Brunnera macrophylla Jack Frost, strawberry leaves and Euphorbia amygdaloides robbiae
Rodgersia, Ligularia and Ferns
Gunnera manicata and Iris foliage
This coming week my Panasonic Lumix camera and I are ready to find hundreds of new and sublime combinations, as it is The Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show. We can hardly wait. Roll on the 21st !
