What should I plant here?
Its too hot to do any more in the garden for a while so I thought I would
seek advise from the wisdom of this forum. I have just cleared this area of the garden. http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike...e.10533?sort=5 I removed a bucket and a half of bulbs from here and want to plant two or three flowering shrubs. It looked awful before and as it is situated right outside the bedroom window of the holiday apartment we let I want it to look better. This seems to like it here, http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike...e.10534?sort=5 so what else would do well and give colour all summer? Four types of bulb removed. Third from the left are Bluebells but what are the others? http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike...e.10535?sort=5 I would like to re plant these in a clearing up in the woods, but the area does not get a lot of direct sunlight. One other question. This Hebe http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike...e.10531?sort=5 Looks wonderful both when in flower and when not. Sadly it is now covering half the path and I would like to cut it back. How/when would be the best way to cut it back without spoiling its shape. I have also just shot another walkround, will upload and post later if anyone is interested. Mike |

I'm not good at suggesting anything to anyone who knows so much more than me! However, I can help you on in identifying your flower bulbs, mushroom, white radish, onions and shallot (G) Yes, I am joking!!!! Judith |

The odd shaped white ones had tall grass like stems with a purple bobble thing at the top. I have some more elsewhere will try to get a picture. Mike |

Grasslike with purple bobbles sounds like Allium -- Kay |

The happy shrub is St John's Wort. The Hebe is best cut back after flowering. The one in your photo will take quite a lot of pruning. Bulbs = third from left look like Hyacinth. The left hand ones might be an allium. |

I only noticed as I was looking for the link to the bulbs again as I have a feeling I might recognise one or two. I NEVER click on links that use "tinyurl". It's a scammers/phishers paradise for disguising untrustworthy url's and you have no idea where the link is going to take you until you've clicked on it and by then it can be too late! I'll track back and find his OP for the proper link. |

Here is the link to the bulbs again. http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike...e.10535?sort=5 Mike Rogers www.farend.org.uk |

From the left: Allium, bluebells, daffodil and ?? something I don't recognise. The last ones are pretty small - could they be snowdrops or crocus? (That's my guess, anyhow) -- AnneJ |

(That's my guess, anyhow) The last ones look just like the thousands of bulbs in a neighbours garden I've been keeping tidy, an allium but I don't know which. Chive like foliage in the early spring and white flowers on a stalk, not in a tight head like a lot of alliums. Nearest I've found is Allium cowanii but I'm not convinced. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

I have just dug up a load of Crocosmia Lucifer and they look the same. Judith |
