In the garden

"sacha" wrote I went round the garden today, picking foliage for Christmas flower arrangements. Each of these had a few flowers left, Salvia guaranitica, Salvia confertiflora, Rosa Wedding Day, loads of different Vincas, Salvia involucrata, an unknown lacecap Hydrangea, a Fuchsia fulgens and a single Rosa bracteata. Got a Bergenia in full flower, the last flowers on an antirrhinum (a pink one that has been self seeding for years), and a single yellow dahlia whose name I forget and I'm not going out to look now. One thing I have noticed is that this has been a very good year for Cyclamen self seeding around, we have literally hundreds coming up in our front garden, a veritable carpet of baby plants and even in the grass. I agree the Cyclamen have been very good this year. All my larger corms have satelites of baby cormlets around them. Even my outdoor C.persicas have done quite well. Alas, I can't say that my Bergenias are doing much. I'd love to have a full day in the garden this week, but Christmas seems to be interfering on a grand scale, plus it is RG's birthday today so it's been almost open house. As soon as Christmas is over, I'll be back in the garden smeared with mud :~)))! -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |
