October Flowers
There is still a surprising amount of colour in the garden, mid-October, and not yet from turning leaves.
September Stars
Mid-September, and the borders are still blazing, with many of the same stalwarts continuing to shine, and a few newcomers joining the stage.
August Anthems
The mid-August garden is still awash with colour. The light is changing slightly as summer draws on; towards the end of the day the shadows seem deeper and flowers glow vividly in this early evening caress.
Fireworks of July
Mid-July and the garden is full of so many different flowers that it would be impossible to do justice to each one in a single post. I shall restrict myself, then, to some of the highlights.
June Blooms
Mid-June, and despite cool temperatures, high winds and frequent showers, the garden is starting to simmer with colour.
Darling Buds of May
Suddenly, although there is quite a bit of bare soil showing still between plants, there seem to be flowers everywhere. And not ‘just’ those purchased in our Malvern spree…
Mid-March Madrigals
There is a surprising amount in flower mid-March for such a young garden.
Flowers in February
The quietest month in the garden. No more snow has fallen again in the past weeks, but frosts graze the garden and leave blocks of ice where water once stood.
Mid-January Blooms
Saturday saw our first frost of the year, which iced the garden and surrounding landscape. Today was a degree or two milder, though a stiff icy breeze still danced across as I hopped out into the garden in the morning to take pictures of what’s in bloom.
