Cool
Jewels February 2012
Up in the
‘cooler’ section of the garden everything has been benefitting from the rain as
well. Yes, black spot included.
The pot
of petunias is a strong mix of red, purple and magenta. Step aside Gertrude
Jekyll, magenta is in here. In sun these would have been glowing. They are
striking nonetheless.
Souvenir
de St Anne’s has scaled the wall and is draping itself around the bird bath .
It is backed by Tanecetum ptarmiciflorum
and flanked by Eucomis commosa and
the skeletons of agapanthus blooms. The
flowers to the right are Alstroemeria
pulcella which I much prefer to the more showy Princess Lilies Alstromeria.
