... and a little bit of purple as well! ;)
In addition to the soft, blush pink colours of a couple of rose bushes, some sweet peas and trailing geraniums, there is also some stronger colour in the garden.
The new oleander shrub - very short at present, but they tend to grow quickly. In a few years I expect it to be taller than me.
The pink Zephirine Drouhin and striped Ferdinan Pichard roses next to each other, showing off the limitations of my phone camera.
Foxglove. I like the little blotches, like freckles on a fair maiden's cheek.
Two tall herbs - angelica already going to seed, seen through a mist of bronze fennel. OK, they are not actually pink, but there is a purplish quality to the tips of the fennel fronds and the stems of angelica.
Welcome to my blog! Here, I journal the transformation of our tiny London backyard into a dream garden. I hope you will like it! A dream garden, for me, is an outdoor space filled with rich colours and seductive scents, offering beautiful flowers, interesting textures and tasty morsels for our delectation. Also a source of nourishment for the local wildlife - birds, butterflies and bees. A space to enjoy with my SO, friends, family, and, of course, our cats. Somewhere to sit and have coffee, or even a meal, and a tiny patch of grass to lie on in the fleeting sunshine of the English summer. And, we're almost there... Unless stated otherwise, all photos are by me (or my SO) and are clickable. |
