Late Summer Perennials, a heretic view - Page 2

So, I write this article with a feeling of wistfullness, I am a lady-in-waiting, there is a deadening of my keeness, a hesitation in my passion. I am already hoping for the cool nights to come and bring me the joyous drama of the Maples' scarlet or bright yellow leaves. I want to get angry at the birds for flocking in to gobble up the Rowan trees' scarlet berries. I need to smell the scent of the roses, kind enough to bloom all over again. And I feel it is time to see the first hesitant flowers of the Christmas roses pushing through the brown earth, telling me that Winter is coming

To prove me scatter-brained, I am showing many lovely photos of the beautiful flowers that are in bloom in both the gardens. I, as usual, took too many so the pages are very graphic intensive. How fickle minded can one be?

If all the photos do not load, try clicking your reload button until they do. This is even when the picture show a broken sign!

Hydrangeas flourish in both gardens here Be warned lots of photos

If you would like to know any more about the plants I have shown you, I would love to hear from you in the discussion area. Are you fond of your own garden in the late Summer months? Which is your favourite season in the garden?

There are some great perennial links in my top five suggestions, take a moment to have a look!

Welcome with your information. I don't think we did manage to find out more, my memory is a little vague

Did you find out any more about the Picotee? I came across your original query using a search engine. In 1851, the local vicar of our village (Weston on the Green, Oxfordshire, UK), the Rev. A Matthew ...
