Dear Sage Friends
Well we can’t complain we haven’t had lovely weather since Lockdown began!
I thought I’d send a few photos of my “patch” before the rain and winds we are promised later this week!
This photo shows a beautiful plant which was given to me by a friend in West Chiltington who was clearing a border prior to having an extension built! I think it’s a type of orchid!
This is a delphinium which I have grown from seed - I love the blue shade going into purple with the black Centre! It’s planted in a pot, with some cosmos which can take centre stage once it’s flowers fade!
This stunning rose is called Tess of the D’Urbevilles and was a present from my work colleagues for a special Birthday!
This lovely rose is called “You’re Beautiful” - I bought it as a present for my daughter but her man likes all their flowers to be white so I kept it!
As you wander down my garden there is a smoke tree to your left and through it grows a single rose, which I purchased at Storrington WI Market! It was just a tiny cutting but it is now six foot tall. The smoke tree (Cotinus coggygria) was a cutting which my dear Mama struck years ago.
To the left of the smoke tree I have planted a verbena bonariensis, a present from Rosemary, which is supporting these delightful foxgloves!
This lovely old fashioned rose with a stunning scent was a present from Sandie and is a fabulous deep red/purple shade.
To the right of the smoke tree, the philadelphus Belle Étoile is now in full bloom. Two weeks ago the ceanothus was at it’s peak - it’s so lovely to have continuity!
I do hope you have enjoyed walking round the garden at Frithwood Cottage with me.
Love from
Rhona
