The Paths.

 

I so love all your pics Philip....your garden is truly stunning!

 

Philip, the Hydrangea is called a Curly Hydrangea. I got it in Aldi (or maybe Lidl).
Just for you ...

The Essential Guide to Growing Hydrangeas - Griffins Garden Centre

 

Thank you very much

 

@Victoria ,..at a glance i thought the Garden Centre was located in Portugal and was thinking,..very Irish name,..great link now that i looked through it,..found the 'Curly Hydrangea' as well as quite a few i didn't know about.

 

Phlox 'Windsor',..cuttings back in August 2018.





As they are today,..starting to bloom,..some of the cuttings were housed in the greenhouse others remained outside,..they all progressed at the same rate,..though very slow to grow.



Lilium 'Pixels Mix'.



Hollyhocks.









Rose ( Rosa 'Fragrant Cloud' )

 

Lilium 'Pixels Mix',..in full bloom now.


Cape Fuchsia 'Phygelius Funfare Orange'.



Phlox 'Windsor'



Three general views.


There is a path between the pink roses and the Hollyhock.


Growing in the gutter,..Sedum 'Green Ice'.

 

Sedum in bloom along the edges.






Pieris japonica 'Mountain Fire',..i painted the front of the cottage 'Terracotta' so what one can see is not PINK






A No Id Rose.



Lace Hydrangea,..there are two shrubs,..one had Hydrangea Colourant added to the soil two years ago producing a blue colour and as time passed it faded to mauve.

 

Hens & Chicks 'Sempervivum tectorum',..now in bloom.



Phlox 'Windsor',..almost in full bloom.









Antirrhinium 'Snapdragon',..white bloom.



Tall Mint on the left.

 

Tigridia pavonia 'Mexican Shell Flower/Tiger Flower'

A very easy flower to care for,..nothing special care wise,..just water and feed though foliage may need to be held upright with a cane,..the bloom only lasts one day but is replaced quick enough with another,..saucer to sideplate sized blooms,..blooms vary in colour and markings.

 

Another Sempervivum tectorum ' Hens & Chicks ',..in bloom.



Rose ( Rosa ' Korresia ' )






Rose ( Rosa ' Handel ' )



Geranium.



Phlox ' Windsor ' and Cape Fuchsia ' Pygelius Funfare Orange ' )



Bloomed yesterday,..Tigridia pavonia ' Mexican Shell Flower/Tiger Flower '.

The occasional bloom appears without its Tiger Like markings.

 

Yellow,.. Tigridia pavonia 'Mexican Shell Flower/Tiger Flower',..bloomed today.



Musk Mallow 'Malva moschata'.



Lavatera 'Baby Barnsley',..( Tree Mallow )



Hollyhock Blooms.



A No Id Rose.......Climber.



Sedum in bloom outside of Heucherella 'Sweet Tea'.



Succulents.

 

I have Lilium 'Pixels Mix',..growing in two locations,..one is a metre = 3Ft from the house and they produce a good amount of blooms but the ones at the back of the garden produce a mass of blooms,..same amount of bulbs and same soil in container.

From the back of the garden.



Bloomed early this morning in heavy rain.




Foliage from the Voodoo Lily,..these appear after the plant has finished blooming and are in an almost circular stem but never meeting at the end of the circle.

 

Though the unusual Voodoo Lily flower is appealing, I find the later leaves have an edge to attractiveness that the flower hasn't .

I do have the other one which is much larger , measured a full 28 inch spathe this year!
I find the foliage not as attractive and soon dies down.

 

@Purple Streaks ,

Hi Purple Streaks,..i agree with you about the leaves being far more attractive than the bloom,..a 28 inch spathe is a big one,..shame the foliage doesn't last as long as the other one,..mine are all showing foliage just now,..they dwarf my Mexican Shell Flower,..but a nice contrast.
