Grey, Green, Chartreuse



Unseasonably cool at the moment. Very green however.

    Lovely garden even in the gloom. Here in the Haute-Loire it's also a very cold wet May! Probably about 4 weeks behind in the garden.

      Hello David

      I reckon this May will enter the record books. Its been way below par everywhere.

    Looks great! What variety of allium is in that first photo? I like the height as well as the size of the sphere.

      Thanks. It's allium 'purple sensation'. I've got nectaroscordum siculum growing over the other side.

    Thankyou. We just need a little Maltese sunshine and it'll be perfect.

    Hi Rob! We just returned from South France. I was admiring French gardens - how natural and almost effortless they look. The same about your garden. Very casual and very exciting, at the same time.

      Hi Tatyana, thanks. I hope you had a good trip. The weather's been unusual however, France and most of west europe is experiencing the coolest spring for a long time.

    It may well be grey. green and chartreuse Rob but it looks great. Your first photo should be gracing the cover of 'Gardens Ilustrated'. We've had a relatively warm couple of days but with a bank holiday tomorrow it looks as if the weather will be reverting to type :)

      Thanks Anna, blame the jet stream, it's unusually far south, looping round southern Spain!

    So many purple alliums, they look great! I especially like the third and fourth shots. Beautiful and very Mediterranean.

      Thanks Sweetbay. I think the gravel gives it a mediterranean feel. The green santolina seems to relish growing in just sand and gravel.
