My Cottage Garden,..glengarry23.

Lovely pics Philip, love how you trained the Nasturtiums, I try to have control over ours but they seem to have a will of their own by the end of the season!

 

@Upsydaisy ,..I forced them to grow my way by using green garden twine otherwise they would wander which ever way they decided

 

@ARMANDII ,..oh i can well believe you,..its so frustrating searching for a trowel one was just using moments ago but no sign of it now,..then if luck will have it you find it in the most obvious place,..where up to then you couldn't see it,..i blame the wee 'Brownies',..they do things like that as its part of their nature

 

Cape Daisy.

 

These images are the last from 'Sheilagh's ' garden,..sadly the garden is devoid of all flowers now as the new owners just have grass.

 

I have an Internet Friend who lives in Australia,..'Bella',..who travels quite a lot and visits gardens in various Countries,..one such place is 'Mc Kenzie Country,..South Island,..New Zealand',..if you want to see thousands of 'Lupins' growing in the wild take a look at the video below.

Images are by 'Bella',..Music by 'Michel Pepe'.

 

We have lovely wild Lupins here. Must remember to plant my seeds, maybe out on the lane against the wall amidst the Geraniums.

 

Lovely video and the lupins are stunning. I wouldn't mind getting amongst those to take seed from specific colours.

 

Hi Victoria,..nice big healthy Geraniums,..yes the Lupins would look great along that wall,..or more Geraniums .

 

Hi Sheal,..i was in awe of seeing so many Lupins and started to grow them in my own garden however i am limited as to the amount as even one good healthy mature Lupin can be very big.

I agree letting one loose in that area is a magnet to collecting seeds of different colours,..i started off with a wine coloured Lupin and a yellow,..they crossed and now i have about four different colours,..if all goes well there should be more next summer.

 

Another collaboration video.

A friend in Texas 'Debra' grows 'Iris and Lilly's',..some spectacular 'Bearded Iris',..as well.

So my Video and Debra's Images,..Music by 'Llewellyn',..'Gentle Breeze'.

 

We only have the yellow and purple ones too.

I have Bright pink single, red single and fuschia coloured double Geraniums on the lane which can reach almost five feet tall. They are cut almost to the ground every year. I have a double pink on the path to the house, looks like little clustered rosebuds, gorgeous, all blooming now. The flower heads are huge, 6-8 inches across.

 

Likewise in Norway Shiney.
