A glimpse of my garden

Amongst the weeds, there are some absolute gems in my garden.  Last week I finally got out and did some work - although there is a LOT more to do!! and I have NOT shown you the overwhelmed bits . . .  The star of the show has to be the Paul's Himalayan Musk - HOW can I ever replicate this in another garden?



This is from my office window - I couldn't get back far enough to take it ALL in.  The cat in the picture is a stray tom who turns up regularly - we call him Nelson as he has a patch over one eye . . .


One of several Clematis I have about the place.  Name tag lost/stolen by Jackdaws . . .


Another of my original Rambler roses - I think this one is The Garland - it has a fabulous perfume.


Philadelphus spilling over the wall.


This is the wrong time of day to do this post, as I am still suffering from sleep deprivation from the weekend and short term memory loss.  This is the beautiful yellow rose I bought last year? and is just flowers its socks off all summer long.  Definitely one for the next garden.


Constance Spry, who grows up through an apple tree.

  
The sunny little faces of Pot Marigolds, bought in flower and bunged in a gap in the border.  


A reliable creamy-yellow Scabious.


New-girl - Cerise Achillea "Paprika".


Johnson's Blue Hardy Geraniums.


Another old rose (Quatrafolia), but whose French name escapes me . . .


Another Clematis, this time the one growing up an apple tree.


Last but not least, some of the water lilies, just shutting up for the evening.
