What 🌼 Flowers 🌻 Do We Plant 💐 In An English Country Garden 😊 - Finale 🏵️

in #flower6 years ago

As the weather is so variable in Britain, we love to adorn our gardens with colour and vibrance. This final installment captures the general array of flowers that can be found in gardens all over the U.K. - From Roses to Succulents and Ponds to Creepers, they all contribute to not only our mood and spirit, but the chain of life itself.

The Dalhia

With planters and growing pots arrangements can be organised into varying configurations. The sanctuary from the ajoining farmers fields also provides refuge from the industrial practices of modern farming.Country Garden Flowers.JPG

Somewhere amongst this lot is a solitary and elusive night stalker - The Hedgehog, although access to the worms are proving challenging in the summer baked soil.Basket mixtures.JPG

The enjoyment of any garden allows us all to sit, be quiet and ponder the intricacies of nature, as demonstrated by this ornate bedding Dalhia

Finally an appearance from a solitary 'Cosmos'

Hope you enjoyed all the photos, colours, patterns and shades from this garden, in a small parcel of land in England.

Oh wow. Look at the bridge!!!! Oh, wonderful! Also, I have never seen a Nigella before. No one did a garden like that when I was growing up. I don't see any in people's yards here either. This post series was a treat for me. I currently live in an apartment with not even a balcony. I miss having a yard. This would have inspired me to make a wonderland of my own. Great series and thank you so much for sharing.

Yeah the bridge over the pond is a good little feature. The pond is stocked with big fish too although its a daily task to clean the filters.
Yeah i was surprised when i saw the Nigella - I was amazed at the delicate spiny bits that come off it lol..
Although not for everyone, it's a lot of time and effort to keep going...Right now, all the plants and flowers need a good drink...
Glad you enjoyed the pics...

Love the gardens! I could just sit there and admire all the work that went into planning and planting it! Looks so very different than my own Jurassic Park!

Thank you kindly.... Yeah the parents do put a lot of effort and time into it..... It's their hobby and it looks like they are now reaping the rewards of their efforts. Their growing knowledge is something i'm trying to gain more of...
Good Luck

Don't let that knowledge go to waste! It is a precious commodity!
