Some Garden Views
All taken May 6th 2024 and all taken in our rear garden. There's a lot of plants still to emerge - the Hedychiums especially - but even so it's looking quite full for early May given the cold wet spring we've had so far. As always, click to embiggen.
Chaemerops humilis, European fan palm - 24 years in the ground - and Cordyline 'Red Star'. They work well together,
A view of the little pool area with my one and only Dicksonia antarctica tree fern and Camellia 'Anticipation' still in flower. The fern was planted 20+ years ago as a little baby and I wondered if I would ever be able to sit in it's shade. I can!
And here's the understory with Persicaria 'Red Dragon' and Acanthus mollis filling the floor.
Looking back towards the house from what was a patio but is now filled with vegetable pots. Musa basjoo is beginning to develop some decent leaves on the right while Acca sellowiana hides the area in front of the living room window.
Looking back from the other end of Maria's workshop we have Chaemerops humilis on the right, the Musa basjoo in the center, underplanted with Acer palmatum dissectum, in the centre and a stainless steel shelving set on the left that I fill with seasonal interest for the summer. This includes some of my houseplants.
