Well, we have two new gardeners, both proving excellent, and we still have our wonderful volunteer, Dawn. But we do miss Jeff.

After the spring emptiness, which you’d expect of grasses, the Grasses Parterre filled out and is begining to really work.

The rest of the garden has done brilliantly in the kindest summer we’ve had for ages – no drought!

So here’s a celebration just of one flower, which is a total delight just now. Just for pleasure.

They start like this, and this is beautiful.
Then this wonderful bud….

We’d never just settle for a bud though. (why not? It’s not terribly different from a berry.)

Then a glimpse of the flower appears.
How did it get so furry? And, no, I’m not sure which one this is. Or any of them, for that matter. Sorry.

Just celebrating beauty here…
How about this!?
Or that!?
Sweet…

So what do I do with them at Veddw? Mass them, of course.

You’ll be pleased to know that the gorgeous plant at the front is Eupatorium cannabinum ‘Flore Pleno’ 
The Eupatorium is here again, with a touch of fennel..
And the meadow is beyond….
They’re mixed with Clematis Princess Diana, Rosa Felicia and bronze fennel.

and then

No white ones, none of the Wild Swan series – those will do another time. Hope that’s cheered a gloomy autumn day.

PS Him outdoors has just told me to add that you can see these wonderful flowers here next Sunday (the 19th) on our last opening of the year! (open 2-5)

It’ll rain……
