Marguerites or shasta daisies I know and used to grow, and they are very tough plants indeed, but the yellow ones I never grew - need a close up to see whether they are coreopsis or rudbeckias. Yellow nettles are a complete puzzle.I am madly envious of the lilac - never managed to grow it. A friend does and she also has proper English snowdrops - wonderful.<br />I am just back from beautiful Melbourne where the gardens and plants are stunningly beautiful, with camellias flowering gloriously, bulbs starting to flower, magnolias in full bloom, and blossoms just starting. My own garden seems full of green stuff.persiflagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161607100227748374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-75730527630513523242009-08-10T21:19:23.736+01:002009-08-10T21:19:23.736+01:00I find I only have capacity for so many plant name...I find I only have capacity for so many plant names. When I take the trouble to remember one, another invariably slides out the other side.

I like looking at your garden and seeing the subtle changes.<br /><br />I have a similar scene I suppose, but I have a red seat, under a large Copper Beech tree.<br /><br />Gardens never stay at a perfect height or shape, so it's about getting basic bones right I guess. That's why the seats are quite good; the paint may dim but the shape and size is constant.Ali Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671890094425941272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-19504584305720262582009-08-09T19:53:22.585+01:002009-08-09T19:53:22.585+01:00That wasn't boring at all!

I had to look up what a marguerite is -- a yellow daisy? I haven't heard anyone here use that term. I LOVE a big jumbo lilac! I have several miniature lilacs that are wonderful, but the big ones are my favorite. I planted one almost 10 years ago -- it has beautiful blooms every year, but it's still so small -- not much bigger than my miniatures. I so wish it would be gigantic like yours -- I think maybe it doesn't get enough sun. Or maybe it wishes it were in your happy garden!<br /><br />LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that fabulous quote!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-37382392063876300112009-08-09T01:59:41.942+01:002009-08-09T01:59:41.942+01:00Your garden is lovely I love lilac I can still sme...Your garden is lovely I love lilac I can still smell it it had a great smell to it.<br /> Hugs Mary.Scottish Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418899549096176115noreply@blogger.com
