And my favourite the Granny's Bonnets (Aquilegia) I was delighted to find several plants in our overgrown garden when we moved in plus lots of seedlings. I moved all the seedlings around and created lovely beds of Bonnets for the Spring; however they were having none of it! They refuse to grow where I sow seeds and happily self seed themselves in the strangest places. I have decided to stop trying to fight nature - she always knows best! I leave them to come up where they will and if they are in the 'wrong' place I cut the flowers for the house so I can enjoy their delicate beauty close up.

Beautiful flowers! And how fun to learn that the thatched cottage is yours -- it's gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your clematis! Mine were very sad this spring, because of our drought. We are hoping for a lot of rain and snow in the coming autumn, and winter. Thank you for sharing your beautiful flowers!
