One of the honeysuckles here is scrambling up one of the trees, it must be 20ft high in places, with long tendrils trailing down, covered in beautiful flowers. A sight to behold.
Ooh, forgot about violas, gorgeous little faces. And I spotted a peony in full bloom this afternoon, hidden away and I had forgotten it was there. A bit showy and blowsy really, but beautiful all the same.
OOh dear, waxing lyrical again, I'll be quiet now shall I?
Gosh I have so many its hard to know where to start. I guess snowdrops and daffs because they herald the warmer days and they cheer me up so much after the bleak welsh winter. I love good 'doers' if you know what I mean. Something which does very very well with minimum input like Lavatera.......flowers its heart out from April to October. Dahlias because they last well into the autumn but I think that my real favourites are fuschias love the little dancing ladies with their blowsy skirts.
MMMmmm Alison , talking of smells in the greenhouse how about the smell of tomatos growing and the taste of a lovely warm Gardeners Delight straight from the vine. Delish
Couldn't possibly choose, I'm like a butterfly I like to flit between flowers _________________ "If we reduce the amount of stuff we allow to accumulate in our lives, we won't have to organise it"
